DAC in player vs DAC in computer.


What is the difference between the digital to analog conversion in a CD player, and the Digital to analog conversion in a computer.

I'm positive there is a difference, I just don't know what it is.

What's the best computer for an audiophile. Does one computer have a better master clock than another?
audioengr, if you started from digital out in a computer, could it compete with the best "stand alone CD players"; if you used the best DAC?
I have a DTI that improved the sound of almost any DAC, but it has no connection for a computer. Is there such a device for the computer, a reclocking device.

What does it take to get the best sound out of the computer. Since I'm computer illiterate you'll have to really break it down.
Do you know if anyone has tried a DTI between their DAC and computer. For those of you who never heard of a Digital Transmission Interface, it re-clocked the digits; and they raised the quality of almost whichever DAC they were used with.
