Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?

OP,

You ripped all your CDs in two days? Either you only have a few, or you may have inadvertently ripped them to a compressed low resolution format. I don’t remember how long it takes… but I generally have high performance equipment and it takes forever. 

Ripped to uncompressed FLAC, but only 150 or so CDs and 30 were purchased recently .. without having anything to play them on. Only 20 SACD, so not missing much there.

I still can’t listen to them in that the DAC in my New McIntosh MA12000 stopped working and the DAC that I ordered is still at least 2-3 weeks from delivery.  So, 100% vinyl for now.

Thank You for the follow up. I head to Memphis next month for work. In the Summer of 2020 I worked in Memphis -downtown. Of course, the city was on lock-down status. I do not believe that there are any Audio shop(s) ?

I will reach out and touch Colin and Constatine regarding Cabling to complete my system which can be viewed in Virtual Systems here.

Happy Listening!

@jafant -  The audio shops that were in Memphis are long gone. Feel free to reach out when you are in Memphis

Ok… 150… in a couple days, still must have taken some time. 
 

i went to the vinyl store yesterday… it is still fun. Even though I listen to streaming 98% of the time.
