Computer vs CD/SACD discs


I am simplifying my system and getting out of vinyl. Actually sold all the vinyl and analog gear already. I was planning on going to computer audio and have been playing with it but really don't see the benefit over just slipping a disc into the tray. I also am getting a bit frustrated by all of the options of downloads, cables, inputs and opinions all over the place. I would welcome opinions thoughts on computer audio vs the old fashioned, putting a disc on the tray and pushing play. ( Streaming, I use spotify, exempted as this is a nice way to demo new music).

maybe I can read some stuff like that in the absolute sound, I just subscribed after many years of absence, I always get a kick out of something crazy that is talked about out of an audio magazine, keeps me from tring to post a comment, ha,ha, little humor!, the funny thing is, I did re-subscribe.
Grannyring had an out standing computer audio set-up, sounded real good from what I am told, since he works with computers daily for a job, He decided to look for a cd-player that would give him an emotional sound and still have resolution, that would out compete the computer audio system he had in terms of simplicity, and not carrying work to home feel, I understand the simplicity of having a menu to walk around with having a computer audio set-up, But dealing with down loads, software, inferrior usb cables,a mac mini or whatever, this can be very taxing on alot of folks out there, I am, and so is grannyring computer literate, I myself find it a pain in the aXX to keep viruses and malware, hard drive clear of errors off the computer, so to not have those issues with a dac, transport, cd-player is the simplicity of spinning disc to me, I have knocked computer audio to much, I have come to terms to what ever makes that person happy, so be it, and in turn, they should give the same respect, everyone arrives diffrently on the path of audio.
Audiolabyrinth, I have no idea why you have, "to keep viruses and malware, hard drive clear of errors off the computer" troubles. I have none. It is so easy to have 900 albums from cds, in DSD, and from HD tracks at hand without having to look for them.

Hmmm! Should I take a stab at it? I have some suspicions. Hmmm!
all computers are problematic, It's the nature of computers, I will also say I have none, that's because I maintance my computer daily to keep it running tip top, with all this, why would I spend more time with a computer and arrive with more problems from more useage?, I do not desire that at all.
