MF V-DAC and power supply


I know this is a very elementary question for most of you buy I'm hoping you will help. I have a pretty good basic system with:

1. Cary SLP-94 Preamp
2. Balanced Audio Technology VK200 Amplifier (SS)
3. Tube Audio Design 60 Amplifier (tube)
4. Rega P3-24 with TTPSU, upgrade subplatter (Groovetracer) and counterweight (Mitchell), Herbie's mat, Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge
5. Cambridge Audio 650 CD player

I want to get into PC audio, so.......I ripped all my CDs into Itunes Apple Lossless. And now am at a loss (less)

I am thinking about buying a Musical Fidelity V-DAC with a power supply upgrade and using it to to play the files through my system. My questions:

1. Is the MF V-DAC good enough? That is, will I be satisfied with the sound through the system that I have or do I need something better?
2. Do I need to do anything other than hook the V-DAC through the usb port on my laptop and hit play? Or, do I need to do more in relation to lossless or to playing the damn thing?

Thanks for any help you are willing to give.

The VDAC is really good, but is even better with the new power supply and PCB cap upgrades, I have done three of the VDACs, everyone is amazed at the sonic improvements; sounds like a much more expensive DAC
