You first have to understand that a CD is Digital Stored on a Plastic Disk that is spinning.... Vs. "computer" which is Digital Stored on a Spinning hard Drive or a Solid State Drive.
In other words there is not much difference in the technology. So, you can't just compare cd vs. computer..... It's all of the quality of the components. The CD player has a built in DAC.... So you are already using a DAC.
If you put together quality components with music stored on a hard drive it will be equal to or exceed a CD player... You have more options with a computer..... CDs are dying and have been dead for myself for 5 years.
