A DAC is just a USB sound card (unless you're using optical in). But yeah, USB drivers tend to be more reliable since they are generic and usually not written by idiots.
Not really, no. You can use an optical or coaxial output from your mb as well and you don't need drivers for that.
Only if the DAC includes those inputs, which isn't the case with all models. Of course, a DAC could also not include a USB input too, but that's uncommon these days.
