I prefer a USB to Audio connection to the earphone jack because it sounds better. The earphone jack has less bandwidth than the USB-Audio connection. So using USB you get more high and low frequencies.

I heard an engineer at a recording studio I am on the call list for call the headphone jack "telephone quality" and the USB-Audio interface "audiophile quality".

That might be an exaggeration, but I can hear the difference on my PA set.
