What is the sound quality from PC to home stereo.

What is the sound quality from PC to home stereo without the use of a DAC. I have a Mcintosh C39 preamp, Mcintosh MC352 Amp and Ifinite slope speakers. Will the sound quality be equivalent to a low end CD player or better?

I ran direct to my amp from an M-Audio Revolution and it was pretty good - couldn't touch my Simaudio Moon Nova; but definitely good. I have since switched to a Stereolink USB DAC and the gap has shrunk even more. Certainly a lot better than my Sony DVP-NS4000 DVD Player. Note: Using Foobar as the player without any tweaks.
