does it logical to invest on expensive transport?

at these days when we can use a laptop with a good DAC ,hi-rez files,is it logical to purchase an expensive transport?
($15k)
as i understand the hi-rez files are more quality than a standard cd's.

thank you

It depends upon the level of your system. IME, a transport is even more important than a DAC, and a computer is a transport FWIW. At 15k you are at the end of the line where computers meet high end transports in performance. I'd opt for the computer, because it will be much(5-10x) cheaper. I wouldn't be surprised if the right transport could best the best computer set up though. It might not be long before computers catch up though...
