I have a great iMac set up feeding a dcs purcell upsampler and a dcs delius dac. I had the Ayre C5xemp CD player - a very excellent digital front end with a cavernous sound stage.
The computer-based set up I have is better. However, it should be as it cost about twice as much. I doubt if I ever buy another CD player. The big thing I noticed is that the computer server simply makes your music so much more accessible, easier to burn CDs for the car/office, and I listen so much more to my system than before.
I would've never believed that listening through a computer would sound so dang good.......
