  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?

Just an iPod with a digital output - USB2.0 or Firewire, preferably - would be great. Not if it meant I had to use iTunes, but if it meant I could carry around lossless music and plug it directly into a high-end DAC, it would be great.
