Macbook +DAC versus cd player+DAC

Good morning.
My cd player bit the dust!Instead of spending hard earn money on repairing it, I thought that I could follow a new route and do the following:
use my MacBook pro + audio program upgrade into a good DAC , copy my CD library into the Mac and remove the cd player from the chain, knowing that the Mac has been cleaned and is only functioning as a music transport.
Thoughts?
second topic: since the general consensus is that music CD`s will go the way of cassettes and VHS, music will be either Vinyl records or digital music?
Thoughts again?
Your answers, comments and opinions will be read and pondered. Thank you.

I say go for it, try it out!

I tried it with my MacBook pro, Amarra, and a very nice usb converter (empirical OR4) it sounded pretty dang good. In the end, I opted for a Salk music server and it sounded even better.

Check the Empirical audio website for lots of good tips to do it.
