Analog vs S/PDIF from computer (sopuli.xyz)

I have an older Sony amplifier I want to use for my computer, paired with some sort of speakers. While planning, I'm thinking: should I just use my motherboard's line out to the amp, or would I be better utilising the S/PDIF header on my mobo to get the audio digitally to the amp?

You'd like what I did with my current setup. It's digital all the way, through a DSP, to the DAC. Then 15cm of analog cables connecting the DAC to the amp. All of which happens away from any other signal or power wires.
