I am currently working on getting my entire library ripped to Apple Lossless.  I am also looking at DACs.  I'll be using iTunes because I can use my iPhone as a remote and I already have all my files/organization/artwork there.

My question is: are there any settings on my computer that I need to be aware of to maximize the sound quality out of the USB?  Or is this just a plug and play operation?  Windows 7 Lenovo laptop.

My system is: Arcam amplification and Arcam CD Player.  Dali Helicon 400 speakers and Rel sub.  Audioquest cables throughout.  Goal is to use a laptop as a music server using my iPhone as a remote, as mentioned.

Thanks in advance!
