It makes sense though... since the signal needs to be converted and routed though extra signal paths when you use USB.I have just tried switching back and forth between coax/RCA and toslink... and I can tell you there is a difference. Toslink sounds more mellow and laid back... Not only did I notice this, but my girl did as well as I was switching between the two.
I don't know how USB would sound... right now I am digging the toslink though. I am sure that a USB dac would still sound a hell of a lot better than any one built into a sound card.
