HDMI cables will add up latency (because of the TV/monitor processing), some ms but perceptible if you're recording a live performance and monitoring it. One DAC per speaker may cause time drift problems. The best solution is use a high-quality external soundcard with studio monitors. onboard soundcards tend to have sub-par components that add up noise and have less-than-optimal frequency response. Even a Behringer UCA222 is better than the general onboard DACs.
