Yes the DAC would take the place of the soundcard. In fact it seems like most of them also don't require drivers and will just use the default windows drivers and see it as a USb speaker or something of the sort (don't quote that, didn't wanna look it up)
The silverstone I believe has RCA outputs so yes PC/DAC/Amp
Now the silverstone has a pretty decent voltage output so you would be good to go. If need more than 2 channels as Scott fx has said you can utilize the passthrough in your amp if applicable, or use a line driver/crossover to establish more outputs.
I have been speaking with Douglas lately on the use of his DAC and hope to have some info on it soon. As I do I will post in this thread and if I get it up and running I will post a thread regarding my experiences.
Scott fx if you happen to read this how do you like the sound of the Opa2132 op-amp in that DAC? I am thinking of building mine around the Ad8620 which is very comparable in terms of DC offset. I am hoping to power mine by means of the Dc-Dc convertor and am talking with Douglas about the situation. If not it isn't a big deal, I was just hoping with more current available on the input I may be able to get a higher voltage on the output.
