Maybe this is the way I should have asked the question:
If you had no digital source of any kind and had X amount of dollars to spend, what would you buy: a cd player or a computer/dac?
Going by your responses, I guess most of you will still buy a cd player.
I posted this on "Digital" on purpose. I knew that if I posted it on "PC Audio", then most people would agree with me and that way I wouldn't learn anything. I'm trying to get a different perspective on the subject, so thank you all for your input.
