Sound Quality: Computer vs. CD Player


Can a computer music system with top-quality CPU, soundcard, software, and cables produce sound quality (for listening) as good as that from a top-quality CD player?

If yes, which soundcards/software are best for new Silver Bullet G-4 Macintosh?

Your opinions/experiences, etc. greatly appreciated!

I use a computer for mp3's and the kids music. I have tried many different cd-rom's with digital out an external DAC and they do not even come close to comparing to a good cd player. But then my main system is almost completly Cary.
