You don't need anything to stream Tidal it is built in to the Marantz piece.
You also don't need a ripper, your collection is pretty small, you have a few options:
1: send your CD's to a commercial ripping service and for .80cents to $1.10 you can have your CDs professionally burned to a usb hard drive which you burn to a Nas and you are good to go, you might not need a Nas if the Marantz can read directly from the USB drive
2: Buy a Lumin which is a streaming dac which does accept a direct usb hard drive and the Lumin sounds amazing far superior to the Marantz. Great app easy to use built in Tidal, Qobuzz, Spotify, Airplay, and it can read the USB direct see above.
If this is confusing please feel free to reach out to us, computer audio is our specialty.
