I'm sure you personally can stick one end of generic USB cable into generic PC, another into cheap DAC, and declare the result "Beautiful Digital Sound".
Someone more discerning would call that "mediocre digital sound" - and would be entirely correct, IMO. Someone else might call your attitude very non-audiophile-like, and also an impediment on the way to better sound - and would be entirely correct, too.
Not to mention that you have no idea how long it took someone to arrive at the solution he's comfortable with, or how much grief it caused (none, I suspect).
