I agree. The DAC should be designed so that it sounds the same regardless of the source of the data it is using (assuming the source can at least provide the data at the required rate).This leaves two jobs for the DAC (as far as receiving the data):
1. It should be able to overcome any timing problems with the incoming data (i.e. it has no dependency on the speed at which the data is being transmitted)...otherwise known as buffering.
2. It should be reasonably well isolated from the notoriously noisy USB connection.With such a DAC, the computer, the software, and the storage device(s) (and connections to them) should be irrelevant. On the other hand, if you are using a DAC that seems to sound better depending on what software you use, or which brand of computer, or storage device, or USB cable...you've got a bad DAC.
