I know! Sebastiaan wrote this (as should be evident), and played the bass on it too.
I think I’ll have to have a go at transcribing it myself…

A DAI is basically a dedicated sound card in a box connected via USB. What it will get you over the line in on a sound card:
- More (and more appropriate, connector-wise) inputs and outputs
- Less noise
- Usually a clean neutral gain preamp/boost
- Direct headphone monitor out, usually with a separate volume control
- For good ones, a lot more flexibility - for example with mine you can record, monitor, and send to your amp, in any combination, with level controls on each
- No need for your amp to be in front of the input
- If you use a mic, they usually provide phantom power
What you will lose:
- Money, they aren’t free like your sound card
