I have a sizeable collection of CD's and I ain't gonna put them in storage and invest in computer audio in particular when it is in its infancy, but perhaps one of the spinoffs and overlap of the computer industry might mean a certain hybrid of sorts in CD replay. I work in the IT field and continously deal with the frustrations of making different platforms "talk" to one another, I certainly don't have the time to learn how different hardware/protocols work in the audio world and would certainly not want to transfer over 4000 cd's to a hard drive that might fail one day, etc, etc. Having said that I have heard great sonic benefits to computer audio, just don't want to invest more moula into other hardware. But if companies like Parasound can merge both technologies into something that will push the envelope forward while at the same providing sonic benefits to the CD medium with out making a sizeable change to my hardware then I for one applaud them for their effort and product and hope this is a sign of great things to come.
