Many Dumb Questions for Cut Throat

Posted by Newey on January 9, 2017 at 19:16:40:
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.
