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?

@rvpiano I have the CNX v2 as well, despite what someone said about it not being on par with the rest of your system obviously has not listened to it. With that being said, you will need to purchase a cheap PC that can rip CD)’s or purchase a unit that does. Your other option is to purchase music downloads and store them on a drive and attach it to your CNX. I have a TB drive attached to mine, works and sounds great. Hope that helps.

You’re so right! The CXNv2 is a wonderful streamer.

Sounds Fantastic.  
Just bought a new ripper, haven’t tried it yet.

I use dbpoweramp ripper. About $30 download.

 

look at JRiver software too for playing, sorting etc.

I have a PC, NAS drive, Dac connected via Balanced cable to a great stereo system. I ripped all my CD's and play the ripped files using JRiver. I have tried FLAC and WAV formats; both sound great. I have learned how to tag and manage the data for each recording. Sometimes it happens automatically, sometimes the data needs to be manipulated which is time consuming. In my experience it has been worth the effort.
