Well, the answer is 'no' as the machine comes out of the box.  With 
MetaResearch's Digital Ears DSP input product, you can do just that.

Kind of pricey for just playing music, but if you want to do any real time
signal processing, it can't be beat.  Wish I had one of my own.  We used
to do a great demo in which we pulled in sound off of a CD, through a
set of Digital Ears, and through Joe Freeman's digital equalizer program
(a nifty app which I think is in the PD), then out to speakers attached
to the back of the NeXT. (all in real time, with not-very-much performance
degradation because of the DSP's muscle)

In addition, there was some talk on the net a while ago about a way
(ways) to build your own Audio->Dsp box.  Anyone out there remember if
this worked?  Anyone know of a cheaper way to do this than Digital Ears?

Sorry for the rambling, but it just goes to show what happens to you
when you're up coding at 4:40am on Saturday Morning.  ;-)
