CD"S

As you might suppose I am in agreement generally with audiotroy.  Except that you don't have to spend big bucks to rip the disks.  I rip disks (with metadata) easily and maintain my library using JRiver.  Also, I have discovered that a laptop can give fine and quiet service provided it is a very simple (and inexpensive) one.  I use a 14" ASUS with small eMMC storage and with the screen turned off for playback.  I believe this works better than a powerful laptop to minimize computer-generated noise.  Great laptop for travel too as its simplicity results in very long battery life.  Add a 1TB portable HD and you're in business.

+1 for Audio Advisor. Great company to deal with if they have the product your looking for.

+2 for Audio Advisor.Another good company is Crutchfield.You can save a few $ at both sites if they have 'open box' components of what you are interested in.
