Zanden transport and DAC or PC audio system

My digital front is a Zanden tranport and Dac, and as I did not ever heard a PC audio system, my simple question is: Can a good PC audio system(PC or Mac with one very good DAC)sound at least as well as my pair of Zanden?
I´m very interested , because I think that the PC audio has very good things as can be easy storage, easy to find one CD or song, no more CD´s at home...and if the sound is as good, I think that PC audio is the way

Not to go into fashionable digi-bashing, but I couldn't agree more
start with digital and end up with vinyl, never the other way around
A very simple procedure and one that gives a lot of pleasure, rather than get irritated and complain about digital, cd's, etc.
For those who have both sources: ALWAYS start music sessions with cd. After the daily cacophony any cd will offer great pleasure and musical serenity. Then, if necessary, switch to vinyl and you will get a new dose of pleasure and serenity.

Alternatively, you can spend a whole session listening to digital as long as you don't switch to analogue. If you do switch to analogue, switching back to digital is irksome and best avoided. This robs you of one of your sources!
