Providing you have easy to drive phones, what is so bad about just plugging right into the headphone jack when listening on a PC? There seems to be a school of thought that USB dongles/Dacs are better. Initially I thought plugging in a dongle was an improvement, but actually I am not so sure now (I'm guessing alot of my perceived improvement was due to volume differences). In theory doesnt taking the signal out to USB just add noise versus the PC jack? I'll grant ya the Dongle adds some extra volume kick. But I dont think the sound quality is a huge improvement.
