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?

Ok, I reset the music folder to g drive{ my 300 gb hard drive }. Now, do i need to export my library to this folder, or will it do it automatically? Will this put all the info on the hd and free up memory on my pc? Thanks.

Gigi, i put all my music on the g drive {my hd }, then i went back and erased my c drive, where all the music was stored. I set my g drive as my music folder, and consolidated my library. Now when i start up itunes it is blank. The songs are on my g drive,tho. How do i get them to automatically pop up when i start itunes?

Jayboard, Thanks again for getting me up and running. I love the new setup. I still am amazed at having that many songs at my fingertips! Now, if i use up all of my new memory on my 300gb hd, and i add a second hd, will this change anything? Will it still all be on the itunes library?
