[QUOTE=fiddlemaker;1002513]Hi
Thinking about replacing my cd player with a HDD-equipped streamer. In addition to being tempted by tidal etc, I quite like the idea of getting rid of all the CDs that are cluttering the place up at the moment. I was wondering if there is any benefit in going for a streamer/ripper like the Innuos Zen mini or Bluesound Vault 2?
If I went for something like an Auralic Aries mini (with HDD fitted) presumably I could rip CDs on my laptop and transfer the files to the streamer over the wireless network?
Cheers
If you do rip all your CD,s I personally wouldn't get rid of them, HDD can fail Jim
