![]() If this is a one time chore then find a way to rip your CD’s on a computer and buy a high quality streamer like Aurender N200 with an internal storage and separate DAC. As a rule of thumb, internal storage will sound better than external add-on storage.Īnother consideration, are you going to continue buying CD’s in future or this is a one time chore to rip all your CD’s. If you want to take things to next level, look into Aurender ACS100 which offers much superior performance, Metadata Editing, Library Management and user installed upto 8TB of storage. That’s how I got started / transitioned to ripping my CD’s before upgrading to ACS100. Nevertheless, the Vault 2 remained the stepping stone for anyone looking for a one box, plug n play streamer/ripper with a built in DAC. And its internal storage is limited to 2TB. I used to own Vault, while I never experienced any issues with ripping or accessing ripped music, I did not care for its internal DAC and subpar Metadata Editing and Library Management. ![]() Cause, you can always improve the SQ of Vault by adding an external DAC. If your goal is to rip and stream your CD collection then Vault 2 makes sense even if it doesn’t sound good right out of the box. Or you may find it’s internal DAC anemic or worse sounding than the DAC inside your Rotel CD player. For example, a streamer/ripper with internal DAC like Bluesound Vault 2 may just suffice your needs. Here is why, the quality of the DAC associated with your streamer/ripper, internally or externally will largely impact the quality of the sound. But in reality, just like no two cd player sound the same, the SQ quality of a ripped CD can vary from mediocre to absolutely phenomenal. “how does the sound quality compare playing the file on a streamer versus playing the CD on a CD a ripped CD should sound the same as the one played through a cd player.
