Thinking of taking the plunge.
+1 on the bluOS.   
CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh.
There is also another product that helps @buddyboy1 and it’s the ultra bit platinum.  I don’t even know if they still make it but you squirt it on the disc and polish it clean with a felt rag that’s included. Not really sure if it changes the sou... 
Why dealers disparage certain products?
Got it @hilde45 we should all think like you and go our merry way. So much for opinions and discussion.

Preamp recommendations for Quad IIs with ESL-57s
+1 on the preamp @russ69.  
CD transport vs.streaming
The best set up is a stand alone dac, cd transport and streamer. It will all sound great and I agree with @ghdprentice in that you’re “set for life” and I’m 61.
