The RPi has 4 audio options:

1. Analog thru headphone jack
2. HDMI (I think I2S may be available thru HDMI)
3. USB
4. I2S thru GPIOs

All (well 99%) audio DAC chips use I2S as their input. So going through
USB adds a couple of extra steps in the digital to analog process.

I2S is a 4 wire "bus" - Word clock/Data line/Bit clock/Master clock
