What I'm curious about is the quality coming out of the PC over digital (there are obviously factors that effect analogue quality). As far as I would have thought it's a digital stream so it will be perfect all the way to your amp and the quality of your amp and it's DAC is all that should matter. I said this in passing to a sales guy in one of the high end hifi dealers here a couple of years ago and he disagreed. I didn't have time to get into it with him so I'm not sure why.
