for you to buy a DAC and retire the CDP. I took that step a dozen years ago and never looked back. Also use dbPoweramp for rips and batch transcoding.
Playing back those rips from a hard drive sounds better...
Agree. My SSD based music server delivers essentially memory playback. When I queue an album or playlist, it reads the entire content in under five seconds (that's how long it takes to create a completely new copy!) and caches into 6 GB of buffer memory on the NAS.
Another advantage for me is that the library content is shared across several systems using the same UI on pad, phone or watch. No more burning CD-Rs for the garage system. Still have a spindle of them left! :)
