Even better would be to NOT go with USB at all.
Until usb3 will come, it is limited to 24/96. No 176,4k or 192k files playback (unless downsampled).

Somebody that writes in these forums hinted of the improvements in the audio stack of Windows7. It should also introduce support for usb3 and built-in firewire audio drivers.

Drivers are what really limits the diffusion of firewire audio interface in the audiophile sector.
