OK. I'm completely at sea with digital audio, so I'm struggling to parse out what you're saying here.
" Bluesound Node 2 that will plug into your DAC..... Get all your CDs 'ripped'.
I've looked that thing up, and it doesn't appear to play CD's at all. Did I get that wrong?
It looks like just a stramer. Is that right? Or, does it do other stuff?
So, putting together what you're saying, I get the following:
You're saying that one may use ripped CD's [by some unidentified process] PLUS streaming as all of your sound sources? Is that right?
And, you to get streaming, you have to pay for it. And, one source which you can pay for is Spotify, which costs $10/month.
And, the streamer plugs into a DAC.
Final question: would you rip CD's to a computer hard drive just using the computer's disc player, or do you have to pay $$$ for some fancy CD player in order to do the job?
Thanks.

Yes, you can use your CD drive on your computer to "Rip" (Load) them to your hard drive..... Then you can stream Music whether it is on-line or on your hard drive. There is some good software out there to do this. I used DBpowerAmp and it was about $39 or so.

So yes you've basically got everything pretty right......
