Rip, store and stream without a computer

Bluesound says the slot-loading drive lets you rip standard audio CDs, and that once set up on your wired home network the VAULT 2i lets you access and share your whole music library without a computer.

It stores your library on a 2 TB internal ultra-quiet, low power consumption hard drive. Bluesound says a USB port can be used to reach downloads, an iTunes library or content on a NAS drive.
