would usb sound better than a sound card

I am experamenting with pc audio and like what i hear.i am using windows vista and a sound card with coaxial out.i am using a deqx dac-it sounds very good.i was wondering if i can get better sound using a usb dac.and it seems a lot of audiophiles are making this harder than it should.i mean using foobar with this sampling rate,and doing this and that.it seems like it is too complacated.can i please get a simple version of what sounds best.thank you.

Gotsouldr, if you plan to buy a new Mac, then it will come with the "Leopard" OS. If you have an older Mac or plan to buy an older, used Mac, then it may come with Tiger or Panther. Regardless, you should be able to run the latest iTunes with it. Mac OS older than Tiger will not support "Front Row" remote-control capability (there is a workaround).

Sound-wise, I do not believe there are differences between late model Mac OS'es.

Splaskin,

Thanks for the correction - I don't have Leopard yet so I did not know that. More reason to upgrade. :)
