Hey great! Thanks for the response.

So, does the USB Sound Blaster serves as both 1) the ADC from TT to PC and 2) the DAC from PC to receiver?

If so, the USB handles both 1) digital audio into the PC and 2) digital audio out of the PC. Right?

One of my PC limitation may be USB 1.1. I tried to find out whether I have USB 1.1 or 2.0, but I could not figure it out from the Windows Device Manager.

Anybody know of way to determine the USB version in a PC?
