Now what you have is a top notch media centre that can play any format of audio and video content you wish to enjoy. The Burr Brown DAC chip on the IQaudIO board is absolutely top notch and similar to parts used in CD players costing above a thousand pounds so the audio quality is absolutely top notch. The total cost of this system minus the TV set is about 150 pounds. * +

Vinyl tips... Store your vinyl vertically to prevent record warps and ring wear of the album cover. Only handle vinyl by the edges or the centre label and don't touch the grooves.
Do buy special inner sleeves so you don't scratch the surface when you take records in and out the inner envelope. Buy outer sleeves to protect the out cover too.
Clean the record with a record cleaning brush before playing. Clean your stylus also with the correct cleaning brush but do it very gently.
Very frequently keep a check on your turntable to make sure the cartridge is aligned perfectly and the correct tracking force and anti skate settings are still correct. Use a circular spirit level and check your turntable is level on the table or shelf you have it.
Always use the cueing lever to lower the stylus gentley on the records playing surface. I would also refrain from lowering it onto music areas of the disk. Only lower it on silent areas like the outer edge. Replace your stylus or cartridge with a new one after a hundred plays on your turntable.
Don't be a hipster and play records on those cheap and nasty suitcase record players or any of those cheap branded turntables from brands such as Crosley, Jenson, ION, etc etc... Get a decent turntable such as the Audio Technica LP120, or a Technics 1200, 1210 or a Model made by REGA or one made by Project Audio. There are many other brands of decent turntable depending on your budget. Setting the turntable up correctly is important to get the best sound and minimise record wear. One other thing... A record collection is called a record collection or a collection of records or vinyl, NOT VINYLS!

CD tips... Only handle CDs by the outer edge and the centre hole. Do not touch the label side or the playing side of the disc. The label side is very thin and easily damaged and the playing side is prone to scratches.
Always return the CD to its case after playing. If you have CDs in those cardboard gatefold like envelopes then buy a CD jewel case and store it separate to prevent scratches.
Do not bend the CD when taking it out the case. Some of these cases hold the discs tightly but just ease it out slowly off the central case spindle.
If a disc gets dirty only clean the playing surface with cleaning solution made for cleaning CDs. This comes in wipes or spray bottle. Use a soft microfibre cloth and wipe from the centre outwards. Store your discs upright in there cases to prevent warping. Keep discs away from excess cold or damp and also away from heat sources. (I should of said keep records also away from heat sources).
Happy listening folks. * +
