I can only answer why I chose SB over your scenario, because I was previously doing more or less what you suggested.
First, for me it was very convenient to have a remote control interface and a GUI right there in my listening area. I suppose you could get around this with a handset type device, but I find the remote more convenient. Second, sound quality. I think for regular listening on ordinary audio equipment it may not matter, but I suspect PC->DAC is going to have more issues with audiophile level equipment than the SB will.
