Is that a question or a statement?

Why bother, you'd probably get better sound from your phone speaker!

A statement I guess as no ' ? '

gzt: Spend on new computer speakers instead.

Will only help if there is an optical on the computer, not everyone keeps their old PCs around. I had to use my xbox to see what was on a disc a while back.

I really dont get point of spending insane amounts to play CD's..... CD's are not the best sounding format, just better than others really :) If a crap master has been made, your $1m stereo ain't gonna help except show up the faults ;)

 

There isnt much better than it, very few things made in higher sample rates that are available, sure some on tidal is but thats rare among the releases and not a real higher sample rate thing, its using some compression thing that either needs a PC to decode or an expensive DAC.

Also there is no benifit in more bits on the end media unless you are listening at absurd levels that you cant in an urban area in anycase.
