My souncard dosent have any sort of digital out so it would have to be USB to DAC, I have had a look at the Music Fidelity V-DAC II. I am looking into getting a new system in the near future and will use this setup until I get my head around what Im going to need and set a budget.
I am quite new to this so still figuring out how it all fits together.
Thanks.
