As part of the revamp going on at the new house, I am considering a Bluesound Vault 2i or similar, rip my cds and also idiot proof streaming.
Looking for suggestions or if someone has something suitable they are thinking of moving on.

Have you considered the new Eversolo DMP-A6 streamer. It can be fitted with an M2 ssd card (up to 4tb). You can also plug in a usb cd player to rip cds to the ssd storage. At £759 it is hard to beat.
A good M2 ssd will add about £70 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MZ-...89&sr=8-4&th=1

I'm Graeme.
Word of warning - I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 and it's a great sounding streamer/DAC. I did install a 2Tb SSD card in mine, so it can be used to store your files (up to 4TB), BUT the Eversolo user forum is full of complaints from people who can't get the device to recognise their CD drives and rip CDs. Just search for "Zidoo Eversolo Forum".
Even if you can get the A6 to recognise your CD drive, it often seems to fail to rip successfully. I've not tried this myself, as all my CDs were ripped into FLAC years ago so I simply copied the files onto the SSD. Of course a new version of the firmware may be released that solves the issue, but based on the reports I've seen, I would not rely on the A6 to rip CDs at the moment.
Do do your research carefully...
I read that the problem was a compatibility issue with some cd usb cd drives.

Robin
