Marakanetz, In in Grannyring's case, he has a DAC/integrated with only USB input. An USB is a great option to have, but I do not know which will ultimately sound better. Like Kal said, try it out and hear which sounds better in your system.

This will work with a Benchmark DAC, e.g., but not with my Wyred4Sound.
