PC audio out USB to external DAC


I'm just getting into PC audio, my plan is to output audio from the PC via USB to an external DAC, which of course then feeds to a preamp. Do I need to add an external soundcard to act as computer to stereo interface? It seems like something would be needed, it can't be as simple as just plugging in a USB cable.
Thanks for any advice!

You can use a device like an Airport Express (new version just out),

Jax, I see the new Extreme (which does not have a digital out) is supposed to start shipping next month but haven't seen anything about a new Express. Did I miss something?
