Sound card by computer to rip CD and listen music

HOHOHO

1. Want to buy a new computer(desktop and notebook),
any special requirement for the sound card that can listen the 24bits file/flacc files or rip the CD with better effect?

2. Which brand of desktop and notebook are good?

3. Want to buy window 8.1 with cpu i5 around$5000~$8000

Speak from a premium sound card user. Forget about "sound card" for serious music appreciation. Use onboard coaxial out if you want sound for movie and games.

A 2nd hand USB external DAC will always outperform so called good sound cards.

Why do you need a Sound Card to rip CD? It's just a digital transfer from CD drive to HDD....
