learn to rip my entire CD collection onto this PC

Have a good look at dBpoweramp.
JRiver don't support Accuraterip and its metadata leaves a lot to be desired for.

As the Oppo can't drive external HD's, try a (micro)SD with a USB adapter if you have one around.
A good alternative is to connect it to the network.
You can make it see the audio e.g. on your PC.
As audio PC is on its way, I wouldn't spend much money on the Oppo.
The next question will probably by how to connect the PC to the stereo.
I recommend a good USB DAC e.g. RME ADI-2

Maybe my website is of use as it covers the basics of using a PC for playback.
