For one thing the type of computer determines what software he can choose from.
For another there are many here who preach how much the hardware affects the sound.
For another if someone was going to recommend a toslink connection like an Altmann DAC (a good choice BTW) you would want to have a computer with an optical output, or if a firewire DAC then that would rule out many computers.
Depending on how his room is set up and what other equipment he has it might make a difference whether he has a laptop or a desktop or a tablet.
If planning to use a laptop then I would also recommend making sure it does not have a noisy fan as many do.
The type of computer most definitely makes a difference.
