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.

Thanks for the info.
It looks like wifi is not an option with the Zen MkIII.
It would be very difficult for me to run a wire to my rack.
Would one of these work?

Sony or many others. but all these I believe is over priced with build in storage. I would use external storage. You might want use SSD for low noise. You can read and write to SSD from regular hardrive very qick. I just a USB thumb stick.

Some people also do Ethernet over mains

this is where good relationship w local dealer can be critical
