Steamer That Plays and Rips CD's an has Internal Storage

I’m new to digital streaming and have a question for the group. I am looking for a streamer (for Tidal) that will also rip and play CD’s. It would have to have at least 2 TB of storage, preferably more. The reason for a one box solution is lack of space in my rack. I currently have a Apollo-R CDP.

My integrated does not have digital in, only analog in.

Any ideas? My budget would be about $2500.

I sold a bluesound vault2 to a member here who once he got it had not known it did not have wifi.
He used the powerline ethernet over mains as per your link and it was reported to work very well for him.

That's good to know. My house is on a concrete slab foundation. Running a cable through the attic and pulling it down inside the wall would be very difficult.

I have a Vault 2i.... I love it,  great value.  I'm also using a Powerline 2000 with great results.    I use it with an external DAC but it sounds really good on it's own in my opinion.

Antipodes servers can stream Tidal through Roon, Squeezebox Server or MPD apps that are pre-installed.
