CDs are ripped to the Eversolo via a USB 3 computer drive connected to the Eversolo. The whole process is controlled by the Eversolo software. The CD files are stored in FLAC format on a 2TB SSD that I installed into the Eversolo (slot provided). During playback the Eversolo reads the FLAC files from the SSD and runs them through the internal DAC. So nothing is read from any network.
The only difference when I use the CD3 is that the digital output from the player is transfered to the Eversolo via a cheap but pretty good 75 ohm coaxial cable.It's then processed by the Eversolo DAC.
The CD3 is indeed built like a tank. But not so the Phillips CD Pro2 drive. Which had failed on my unit. Luckily I managed to source a replacement from China via Ali Express for about one fifth the price I was quoted for repair locally. And it works perfectly.
Follow Ups:
Jon L gave you pretty good explanation and I want to add that you should use dbpoweramp (a free app) to rip a CD from your computer and then uploaded to the SSD drive on the EverSolo to see if there is any difference in encoding.

This is good advice. To be clear dBPoweramp is a great app, but it's not free.
Exact Audio Copy (PC) or X Lossless Decoder (Mac) are free and very good but not as versatile or user-friendly as dBP.
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
