does it logical to invest on expensive transport?

at these days when we can use a laptop with a good DAC ,hi-rez files,is it logical to purchase an expensive transport?
($15k)
as i understand the hi-rez files are more quality than a standard cd's.

thank you

Only since the improvement of conversion(dac) has the digital domain began to show it's potential. What is possable. Besides, if you download there is no need for a transport. I have down loaded several 96/24 recordings. They sound great. Are they better then every cd I have ripped, NO! But most. If you have a lot of sacd's I understand your intrest in a player. But if you have redbook, move on. You will not beat it. And, in the end, you will be much happier with your system. MY OPINION!

If you download music from HDtracks.com you take the transport out of the equation. So would people "in the know" still claim their transport is better then a computer based system?
