RE: What kind of output device? PC to Digital out.

At the moment I'm running USB from the PC to USB in on an external DAC. (actually sounds pretty good)

I have an Nuforce U192S borrowed from a buddy to try out 3 other DAC's an there COAX/OPTICAL inputs.

As mentioned I'm fairly new to the whole pc media server external DAC thing.
I'm researching and trying to find out what the supposed best connections and hookups are.

My thinking on the USB to SPDIF converter was your introducing another "layer in the mix/translation"
an just figured that wouldn't be as good as straight from an SPDIF output, but I'm open to any outcomes.
