If I wish to use my PC (Win 7) laptop as a music server via S/PDIF outs to an external DAC, is there anyway to avoid using the laptops internal sound card? Or is it preferable to use a USB out - either to a USB to S/DIF converter or direct to USB input on the DAC?
Thanks Tobias. Since posting the question I've realized that sound quality via S/PDIF from will be poor (internal sound "card" is ordinary at best) & a that a USB to S/PDIF converter is the best route.
