Sound Quality: Computer vs. CD Player


Can a computer music system with top-quality CPU, soundcard, software, and cables produce sound quality (for listening) as good as that from a top-quality CD player?

If yes, which soundcards/software are best for new Silver Bullet G-4 Macintosh?

Your opinions/experiences, etc. greatly appreciated!

Dear Friends:

Thanks for your fast responses!

To clarify my question, my intent is to use my computer to sample and play music directly from the WEB - not to use the cd-rom as a transport. I'd like to eliminate a transport and dac entirely for this purpose!
