Computer analog outputs are not necessarily horrible, but experience does not give me high expectations for them. So I would suggest a USB DAC like the Topping E30 ($130) or Schiit Modi 3 ($99). If you listen with headphones, consider the Topping DX3Pro ($220) or add a Schiit Magni 3.
I like the idea suggested earlier to compare computer playback of rips of your own CDs to get a baseline.
