What is the highest quality way to rip a collection of CD's to a hard drive? Does it require a high-end transport and DAC of some sort? How have others gone about this when loading their Lumin, Aurender, etc components?
Agree - FLAC is the way to go - I use twinned 3 Tb NAS drives. The images take up a fair bit of space on top of the music. I am also a dBPoweramp user.
I gave up on ripping to a hard drive back at the beginning of the century. It was not a good enough sound quality for me. My ears told me the sound was not the same as on the original CD.
I used JRiver on my Windows 10 PC, ripped entire collection to a NAS drive. I play my collection using JRiver software through a Parasound Zdac connected to Krell Preamp and Krell Amp, and Harbeth 40.2 speakers. Inexpensive, sounds great but slow ripping process.
