Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server?

Since I'm a visual person, I've tried to distill what I've learned about music servers and how I might create one. Any suggestions or comments you have would be appreciated.

Here is the link to the website with the picture:

My goal is to produce the best sounding Music Server regardless of price.

I have a SILVERSTONE ENSEMBLE EB01 USB DAC connected to my MacPro, i then stream my music via AirPort Express to my Cambridge Audio Azur 540v2 via Toslink.

My Question is: Does having my USB DAC connected to my computer before I stream the music to my receiver a good thing? I wasnt sure if having the DAC connected to my computer before streaming the music defeated the purpose of having a DAC. I have noticed that everyone else has their DAC connected to to AirPort Express.

Let me know if this doesnt make sense? Thanks for any insight.
