Ripping CD's to hard drive

Sony Music Center and its free:

I should back up...newbie question...what type of CD drive is necessary/sufficient?  Right now I've got a Cambridge CXC transport running into an integrated with a built in DAC.  I'm guessing the CXC won't be useful in this situation.  I should have prefaced the original question that I'm completely new to this and want to know what the complete chain looks like (hardware that reads/exports data to hardware that decodes and stores it).  Any input is appreciated.

“what type of CD drive is necessary/sufficient”

The one that is designed to rip CD’s. As suggested above, connect a Vault 2 via SPDIF (digital coax) cable into your Integrated DAC input. Once you finish ripping your CD’s sit back and enjoy your ripped CD’s or browse / listen thousands of songs through cloud based providers like Tidal or Qobuz.

If you want a primer on how to connect Vault to your network, search streaming in the forums. Lots of great info here.

@lalitk Thanks so much!
