High Quality DAC versus High Quality CD/SACD

Hi,

I have a high quality playback design cd/sacd/dac. I use it exclusively for cd/sacd. For my bedroom system I thought of using a pc to dac sourced digital system as opposed to a cd/sacd player. I know the convenience and variety value of a pc to dac system.

Assuming, the source material is 44.1/16, is the sound from a pc to dac equivalent to the sound of a high quality stand alone cd player? I assume for high resolution non-sacd material a pc-dac system beats the stand alone cd/sacd player where the choice is only sacd or 44.1/16.

There are many SACD/CD Players with digital inputs: starting from Oppo 83 and finishing with APL HiFi NWO player.

This is what I have (NWO-S1) and I can use the DAC of this player along with any pc for hi-rez downloads and CD/SACD Transport for SACD and CD's Also all CD's can be ripped if pc/music server is good
