RE: An insolent provocation .... if a usb dac is very well design (and built) the pc quality should not matter

I agree with you that this is how things should be. However, they are not this way because of the direction the market has taken.

I blame the reviewers for this sad situation. They review DACs using fancy digital front ends. If a DAC sounds good under those circumstances they give it a good review. However, they shouldn't do this. If they used the cheapest computers to review DACs and panned any DACs that didn't sound good under those circumstances the manufacturers would be forced to provide a suitable level of isolation.
