Straight to the motherboard if you can. Hub theoretically shouldn't introduce any significant issues, but direct connections are always better.

 

False, I'm afraid. A powered hub can clean up noisy power from the PC, or supply a more stable supply.

 

This should only be necessary in the event of static or drop-outs in the audio played over USB.

So I do not have a dac yet but my headset has a usb, sould I run this straight to the usb on the motherboard or does it matter if I run it through a usb hub?

A smile goes much farther than the person it's meant for.

First impressions are important, it sets the stage for respect.
