In Reply to: Depends on the type of system posted by J.Mac on November 3, 2009 at 01:22:14:
"For a system feeding an external S/PDIF, USB or Firewire DAC, the hardware within the computer connected to the DAC matters less. The DAC is mostly externalized, so it is somewhat isolated from the computer."
The type of interface used also has an impact. IME, high quality Firewire interfaces are impacted least of all by upstream components, i.e. computer, cables, etc. Next least impacted is Async USB, due to more apparent cable sensitivity.
AES/EBU and Coax S/PDIF require an additional component in the signal path on most computers, specifically, a sound card to get the appropriate signal out of the computer, so there is additional cost, complexity, and opportunity for snafus here.
