I think the issue many have is that Barry has never once heard the audio flowing through the UMC22(?) interface. Maybe there is no difference to him, and that's fine. But no way to judge if you haven't tried it.
Most of the digital issues arise at the ADC stage. Not sure I would trust a unit such as a BEHRINGER audio interface UMC22 to do a better job of that than a computer soundcard. That said there is the DAC stage and with a good enough playback system if the computer supports a digital out their might be some audible advantage with the use of a good external DAC
