Hmm, not if you value DAC quality; on a good sound card you get a decent 
DAC plus audio AOPs, it is in several good cards a much better 
DAC/preamp than in not so cheap receivers.
For now I am doing it with my integrated sound card, but I do hope a big 
jump in quality when I get my hands on a "good" sound card.
But as I said there are as many opinions as people when it comes to 
audio quality ;-)
