I have a solid collection of CD's at home and a bit fed up of streaming these days... for some wierd reason I wish to get back to my roots a bit.
I was wondering if I needed a special kind of CD player or just plug and play easy in the RME?
I feel I don't want to get a source with an amp and all, seems overkill considering the equipment I already own?

No you don't need anything special, even a cheap dvd player with coax or optical out will do but if you want something better than look at a dedicated CD transport like Cambridge CXC or Audiolab 6000CDT.

My cave also has a huge disc collection. While I rip (using EAC) to FLAC and listen locally (on my different iDevices and ChromeOS), I understand the joy of spinning plastic.
Heck, I‘d even use my XBox console as a transport — as it can read CD, DVD, and Blueray (and pipe it to an external DAC). Audiolab’s a solid option. I do all my listening via headphone. The quieter the transport mechanism, the better! I’d avoid those multi-platter disc changers. Noisy & and my Yamaha unit’s mechanism failed. My 2 cents…
Am I seeing this right? BNC on one end and phono on the other? why would anyone sell this with the knowledge that the cable is not fit for square wave transmission? You would be better off with a $1 toslink TBH.
