RE: An insolent provocation .... if a usb dac is very well design (and built) the pc quality should not matter

Your analogy is bogus. A digital source is not in the analog signal path of the playback chain, unlike an amplifier.

It should be the responsibility of the manufacturers, editors, and reviewers to educate non-technical consumers. Unfortunately 30 years after the introduction of digital audio most of these people remain ignorant of the technology, or if knowledgeable are locked by business connections to a marketplace that amounts to Veblen goods for rich assholes, not tools for musicians and music lovers.
