  I am assuming when you sat "CD rates" you also mean stereo.  If so, 
  Digidesign has a plug in card that allows 16-bit 44.1kHz stereo sound
  playback called the Sound Accelerator, and a box which connects to the
  card that allows the same quality sampling called the AD IN.  They also
  have one of (if not THE) best audio editing software packages called
  Sound Designer II.

  This stuff is not cheap though; the package described above carries
  a list price of $3285.  The Sound Accelerator separately is $1295, the
  AD IN $995, and Sound Designer II is also $995.

I have no connection with Digidesign (except for the fact that I have been
BLOWN AWAY by a couple of their demos).
