Is a DAC still needed?


Most CD players manufactured these days have good quality built-in DACs. Would an external DAC then becomes unneccesary?

Definitely a DAC makes sense, now more than ever, for the computer/music server based systems.
Spinning silver discs will continue to happen, but will dwindle to a trickle.
Music servers, like the one W4S is currently offering, rips CDs upon insertion, thus one could transfer a CD collection onto the server seamlessly, on "as listening" basis.
Disc transports will slip into oblivion. I'm with Paulsax on this one...
