While you cannot overcome the limitations of 44.1kHz, 16bit PCM audio format by ripping from CD to .WAV, you can still find some benefit. For one example, dirty or scratched (cat-chewed?) CDs can often be recovered with error correction algorithms in good CD ripping software, which would be unplayable in realtime on a standard CD player. Also, a PC with a pro sound card and wordclock sync may well be a better transport than most consumer or audiophile CD players. Finally, I find it very convenient to have all my digital music stored on hard disk for easy access, sorting, and inventory.
