Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC

I want to upgrade my dCS Puccini + Uclock, and as I´m reading very much systems based on PC+ DAC my questios is very easy, which system can give me the best sound?:

1.-Transport as top MBL, Metronome ... + DAC(MSB diamond with femtosecond) OR

2.-One music server or PC(Apple) based system + the same DAC

Thanks in advance

+1 Grannyring. But I wouldn't dare speak to the level of your current digital componentry.

I so enjoy selecting from the server than from a shelf of jewel cases. I find I'm listening to more overlooked selections. But the real killer for me is random song (track) select. My library becomes an outstanding talk free radio station.

My Mac > Metrum Octave clearly out performs my ModWright Absolute Truth moded Denon 5900.

And yet again I will suggest looking into Elberoth experiences and covering Steve Nugent's Empirical Audio's computer audio suggestions.
