I intended to tack this on to my previous response, but...

if your "DAC" (its not really a DAC at all, but i understand your use of the terminology)


I believe that "SB Tech" is correct in his use of the term "DAC." The only requirement for that terminology is that there be digital input and analog output, with conversion that correlates the two. USB is most certainly a digital data stream, so a USB-DAC is a valid subcategory of DAC.

Granted, if a USB-DAC also offers microphone or line input via ADC to the computer, then "DAC" would be a misnomer. That said, there are plenty of USB-DAC products that offer output only, and thus are using the terms correctly.
