I heard the DAC will just bypass the Soundcard? (I'm a noob.)

A external USB DAC will bypass a motherboard's built in sound card.
An external S/PDIF (optical & coaxial) DAC will still allow you to use the built in sound cards features.
An add-on internal sound card or external DAC will usually be better then whatever DAC feature is built into a motherboard's on-board audio.
So which would be better. Getting a USB DAC or a SPDIF DAC?
@OP: You need to provide at least some details if you expect a useful answer. What audio interface / DAC are you using? How do you connect it to the PC?
I have my eye on the Schiit Modi USB DAC my guess would be just a simple USB Cable A to B cable?
