It's just nice to pop a good CD into a nice CD player and play the whole thing. Also, despite what some people may claim, there can be huge variations in sound quality between different DACs and their associated output stages, whether or not the DAC happens to be inside a CD player, your computer, or an outboard USB device and this can easily be measured and heard by people who know the program material well. Many people think the best sounding DACs are the multibit jobbers from Philips which haven't even been made in thirty+ years.
