Yes. Everything you see and hear on your computer is produced by software.

Elaborate.

They will never list the details of the shielding. "EMI shielding" just means that the shield is designed to impede EMI. In this case the EMI shield is a thin sheet of aluminum bent around the DAC. Which is what they usually do because it's cheap and effective.

Impossible to say with absolute certainty. Too many variables to consider. For starters what is your audio setup like (cabling, outputs, inputs, etc.)?
