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

I wrote to BluOS and this is what I got back....so I will keep looking.

"Thank you for contacting the BluOS Support Crew.

1) It will not act as a CD player by itself. By itself it is a CD ripper. As you know it can play from the library to connected speakers.

2)Once ripped the artwork would remain intact even if you are transferring the music to an external storage device from the vault."

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