What to do with my legacy CD collection?

@audiotroy thanks for your reply. I researched (online) the 432 evo standard and it looks like a great unit. I went with the Zenith mk3 for the following reasons: - one box solution with a 4TB SSD - I have neither the desire or funds to upgrad...

@ianderson thanks.  I wound up getting the Zenith.  One box, better sound, Sense app, etc.  Running it through a Chord Qutest Dac.   Happy listening to all!!
