The "getting ready" part is not the only part that is worrisome and/or bothersome. Read Todd Krieger's post directly below.
There is more, much more to consider in PC audio besides setup. Unless, of course, one is mostly interested in downloading classical music issued or re-issued by audiophile labels and little else. PC audio is simply not trustworthy enough and/or ready enough for a wide variety of audio-conscious consumers.
If one is a classical music afficionado (as you are) then the burden of PC audio is lifted somewhat. But such is not the case with 99% of listeners -audiophiles or otherwise.

PC ( Mac for me ) Audio is great.
I listen to a lot of different types.
Simply playing your ripped CDs is a good place to start.
Not trying it because you "think" it's bogus doesn't make sense to me.
I probably won't be ripping much until I wear out the perfectly good playback hardware that I already own. But if I did want to rip right now, I would probably not choose to use a PC - not even an *optimized* one.For about the same price (or even less) as an *optimized* PC one can rip to soundcards using something like the Tascam DA-3000 recorder/player. You can use it to "rip" from anything that has a digital output and it up-samples too, all without the help of the internet. A trustworthy and ready alternative.
Here is an interesting ALTERNATIVE Product for our consideration (no affiliations)...
