Home ripping to flac


In my morphing hifi journey I have gone from vinyl records to cd’s and now streaming. I have 500 or so cd’s that I want to rip to flac files.  I’m looking for a player/gizmo that plays and rips with the ability to output to an external drive that I can load the files onto a Lumin L1. 

In the past I have used a service that rips but want to be able to rip in house and  maybe play a CD a few times a year. In other words the CD playing doesn’t have to be anything more than functional. 

I don’t want to rip with a CD drive into a computer….That’s to slow and a PIA for me.

I would be greatful for recommendations as to what to get. TIA

Take a look at the Brennan B2. It is primarily a ripper/vault, but can also act as a player too.

Brennan B2 will do Thx....also trying see about the Cocktail Audio CA-X40 as there's one for sale here.

I checked out dbpoweramp but I’m a Mac user with a laptop that doesn’t  have a cd drive. Using an external drive is way to dang slow.
