Would like to open this by apologizing if this is in the wrong section - I narrowed them down and my question seemed to best fit here. Also apologizing as this question is fairly elementary and I'm disappointed in myself for even asking it haha.
So now for what I'm reaching out to you experienced audiophiles and enthusiasts for: what external optical drive should I get for ripping lossless flacs from my CDs onto my MacBook Pro (don't own yet, waiting on 2016 refresh). Are not all optical drives the same? Will the "quality" of the drive affect any bits of the rip or the quality of the final sound? Should I just go with the cheapest option? Am I overthinking this?
Essentially I lost all my files after wiping my tower I built 2 years ago before I sold it and instead of transferring my flacs I just let them get lost in the wipe. However, I still have my entire cd library so I'm looking to re-rip them onto my future laptop.
All help is appreciated and thanks in advance !
