I have the DAC w/ the USB port, now what?

I bought an external hard drive for my music.
I got a Benchmark pre-amp DAC with a USB port.
I have not yet plugged the DAC into my PC.
Do I need another device or a software program to hear my music through my Hi-Fi system? If so, what software do you recommend?
It's a PC running Windows 7.

All you really need is good windows player software that's bit perfect. Take a look at Fubar Player... it's good and free. Also, the J River Jukebox... it's free and the J River Media Center... it's very good but costs $50.00. Use the WASAPI driver.

"Buy a Mac Mini"... Why???
You already have a computer and a good DAC!

Tbg... if that works for you great! I never said it didn't. However, here we have a person who hasn't even plugged in what he has already. He has a computer and a DAC, let's give him a chance to try it out and get his feet wet first. Maybe the results of his current equipment and a Free solution will be just what he needs/wants.

This is a community where we all learn by trying. Please consider giving people a chance with what they already have and let them learn from it. Throw it all away and start over is not always the only option.

With all due respect...
