But I still think PC really is not made for streaming audio.
Patently UN True

.It depends on hardware/drivers[which PC/mac share[HW] MORE than EVER before].A lot of INFORMATION, that was across the board,even 1 year ago,is NOW utterly in-correct, as newer hardware/drivers are introduced.
Something I thought was GOSPEL,was proven WRONG today,as NEW stuff keeps the situation "ever changing"
It was VERY TRUE a Dell XPS "501x",was crap for audio,even with an RME Babyface[Cheapest/Highest Quality Interface Available] However!!!, My XPS L50"2"x[2011/latest/basic consumer/Non Workstation model]is actually fantastic

BETTER than with my VERY basic,USB 1.1 interface: cakewalk/Edirol UA25-EX

, with THE ON BOARD "REALTEK/JBL/WAVES maxxaudio",AND[Most Importantly] "ASIO4all".....2.4ms RTLatency[for listening only,total perfection

]and 5 to 9ms RTLatency for recording[Line In].
For using with my average interface[Anything under $500....but even THAT is changing] I use an i7 2600k PC desktop [LESS than $800 in the US] overclocked @ 4.4GHz[better than stock cooling....32c temp.]TOTALLY STABLE,Ludicrous POWER, and MAN can that "PC" STREAM AUDIO.heh
