Do all computers output digital thru USB?

Forgive my newbee question but I want to output a digital signal to my USB DAC from my computer. How do I know if my computer outputs digital thru its USB port or analog? How do I get a digital stream to output to my DAC? Thanks for the look and the help. Really.

Your best option is probably SPDIF digital out to DAC. USB limits you to 16bit, 44Khz. With Spdif you can go24/94 or higher.

Another option is the $150 M2Tech Hiface gadget. Converts USB - SPDIF (RCA/BNC).
