For my own computer audio application, I have a different take on the matter, since I use the mini-Toslink digital output jack of my iMac computer with a 24/48 output setting via a state of the art Lifatec Silflex Glass Toslink cable, so any conventional DAC can be used. Furthermore, the S/PDIF digital optical output from the iMac is connected to a Monarchy Audio DIP (Digital Interface Processor), which reclocks the digital optical signal, reduces jitter, and converts the signal to either the S/PDIF 75 ohm digital coaxial or AES/EBU balanced digital inputs of a DAC. I'd rather use this more traditional home audio type digital front end configuration than use a multi-function USB computer port with questionable noise issues to feed a USB DAC. I've never been interested in the notion of high-resolution digital audio, so I don't miss using a USB port for audiophile purposes.
