If a device intended for computers uses a USB input rather than the machine's headphone jack (analog), is there truly a difference in quality? I have a Logitech Z313 (a soundbar), and when I use it with a netbook my parents own, I am able to get a much louder signal out of it than if I were to use the headphone jack, which is considerably quiet on that computer. So I would say yes, but doesn't a computer's soundcard truly make the most difference in the quality of its audio signal, whether digital or analog?
