To get useful recommendations you might want to say more about the audio 
sources (including file types, quality, etc.) the rest of your audio 
setup (especially connection options), expectations in sound quality, 
etc.

E.g. an external device has less interference from the rest of the 
computer. This will hardly matter if your audio setup can't reproduce 
that or you can't tell the difference (I probably can't).

In any case, a device with a hardware mixer allows more flexibility in 
playing audio from several sources without relying on pulseaudio or 
ALSA's dmix.

Kind regards,
Andrei
