Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?

From my limited reading it seems that a cd burned to a hard drive will be a bit for bit copy because of the software programs used to rip music files. A transport has to get it right the first time and feed the info to a dac. Wavelength audio has some interesting articles about computer based systems and have made a strong statement that a transport will never be able to compete with a hard drive>dac combo.

Anybody care to share their thoughts?

I just want all you guys to know that you're scaring the heck out of me. I don't understand ninety percent of what you're talking about; I can barely load my ipod.

Hi Marco,
What an awsome display of generousity! Thank you!.

It's a tremendous aid to be able to visualize something, and your comprehensive analogy is terrific.
I think I'm the last person in the mechanized world to have bought-in to this computer thing(didn't want to repeat that Betamax mistake you know), and now I'm playing catch-up.

Thanks again,
Tom
