Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's.

Recently moved to a different state and sold all my audio equipment.  NAD preamp and tuner, Nakamich Dragon, Thorens belt drive turntable with Shure V15VMR, Sony 400 disc SACD player, pair of Hafler DH500's, Krell KMA100's, Definitive BP7000SC's and Polk Audio SDA SRS's.  Sold all my vinyl but kept my collection of approx. 2500 CD's.

New system consists of NAD C538 single CD player, Sangean tuner, McIntosh C-32 preamp, McIntosh MC-2205 amp, Klipsch Forte IV's, a pair of Klipsch RP-1200SW subs and my first ever stand alone DAC, S.M.S.L. SU-1.  I've never streamed before and enjoy Youtube for music and music videos.

My question is does anybody make a hifi component that allows me to rip my CD's and then play them through my DAC?  I really do not want to use a computer to do this.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Melco.  I have a N100 NAS and subsequently bought their ripper which can double as a CD player.  The N100 is also a player and used with an app such as mConnect will also play streaming services such as Tidal, Qobuz and a few others

I also mention the Melco N100 - which comes equipped with either 2tb or 5tb internal HDD, depending on the size of your CD collection and how many high-rez files you might buy over the next decade. The Melco D100 disc ripper/player and the S100v2 switch is a lovely package. And, you can add the matching Plixir linear power supply for each Melco unit.

Of course, none of this might be for you as we have no idea of you comfortable budget or maximum budget. Have fun!

The Bluesound Vault rips and stores cd's and also streams.  Also I like the app on my phone.  So sometimes I listen to the cd's I've ripped and sometimes I stream through Qobuz.  Many Qobuz titles are cd quality and many are above cd quality.
