Hello Jay, maybe add a quality sound card to your PC with a s/pdif output. Then get a good digital coaxial cable to use. Love my Tara Labs RSC Air 1 75 ohm! Analysis Plus Digital Oval also does very well for the $. Bottom line: Digital Coax will give you noticably better sound than the USB !
Cable suggestion
My set up is:
PC to Ayre QB9 (regular USB)
Ayre QB9 to Audio Research LS-25 mk2 (Cardas Golden Ref XLR)
Audio Research LS-25 mk2 to Audio Research DS450m (Cardas Clear Light XLR)
ARC DS450m to Gallo Ref 3.1 or Harbeth SHL5 (Morrow Audio SP4)
The sound is little bright.
What can I do to tame the brightness.
Thanks.
Jay
