Sold all my Vinyl back in 1997. Was a late adopter to digital. All

my CDs now ripped and stored on my MacBook. However my front end is

Aurender N20

MSB Discrete DAC

Store most of my ripped CDs on a 1TB drive I put in the Aurender. 
However mostly stream via Qobuz. Fantastic library of music. I can find almost everything I want and many in HiRes. It’s wonderful. Would never go back to vinyl.

@vitussl101 ,never thought about it. approx 130 thousand of lp's long gone, storage was a big problem in sincerity I  may be listened around 1500 of LP's out of 130K LP's during that time , streaming is great but I'm having real fun with Ipod front end,cd quality playback , no lp storage problems no digital harshness, do not have depend on internet related challenges and yet very little investment, either wadia or Onkyo transports available out there , I Prefer Onkyo NDS-1 over wadia 170i which I've got both .
