Ripping CDs


I would like to be able to rip CDs. My streamer, Cambridge CXNv2 doesn’t have that capacity. although it can store CDs. What do I need to rip CDs?

Combining the advice of @soix and @ghdprentice I'll add that I have the Innuos Zenith MK3 and it is and excellent streamer and I did enjoy the convenience of just put the disk in and it automatically rips.  I say did enjoy because i upgraded to a Grimm streamer and it doesn't have that function.  I'm selling the Innuos.  Now I'm in your boat, needing to rip an occasional CD of something I can't find on streaming and  had to go find an external CD drive for my laptop.  And I think you'd enjoy a laptop computer even if you only use it to browse this forum.  And as ghd noticed, you're due for a streamer upgrade.  

Not sure what the OP's background is, but if you have a trusted collection of lots of CD's, why would he PAY for streaming what he already owns! So naturally, you rip the CDs. No internet and bandwidth to worry about, no fees to pay for streaming (last I heard none of the recommended streaming services stream high quality files free).

I use an Innuos Zenith mk3.  It rips cds, is an excellent streamer, and I subscribe to Qobuz.

I’m starting with rare, oop cds, and meanwhile, I continue to listen to SACDs and blu rays.  I use Qobuz to preview new stuff before I buy, and listen to esoteric artists that I normally wouldn’t listen to.  

I just retired, so I have lots of time.  Good luck!
