    [Q] IE80 vs B&W C5 Series 2 (or maybe Philips S2?)

    Is Soundcard an important factor in sound quality if connecting to an external DAC?

    I have always confused which one is the determining factor in a "computer as source" audio setup.   My desktop computer has an on-board sound card that provide S/PDIF out (both coax and optical).  I am not sure if an external USB to S/PDIF out digital converter will deliver a better result...
