Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar?

A better way to decide than to listen for yourself? Now, I have 'heard' everything!

The one thing that they all have in common is the poor sound quality. USB is for connecting your printer, not your DAC. If you notice the new era of servers, they have abandoned USB due to its poor sound quality. It was originally used as people just did not want to open their computers, so, since USB is like a belly button (everybody has one), thats what they used. It was a convenience thing and never meant for high end applications. This just snow balled with the manufacturers (it was easy and CHEAP)as they all embraced the interface. You can now see how the new designs are not using USB due to a myriad of reasons, one being the natively horrible jitter factor. You need to spend alot of money just to (try) to tame USB jitter.

Tell that to baetis. Just cause there was USB at more rooms is a silly response. The world is flat again? USB is done. Thank the lord. Puters are built cheap but that ol USB output is made of gold. Ithink the Brooklyn bridge is still for sale.

You will all see the transformation away from USB quickly.
We are in an industry where we will send back $50,000 amplifiers to have them rewired with another $20,000 of wire. We upgrade fuses and have our houses rewired. How, then, do we just accept a standard USB output on a consumer grade PC to be the be all and end all in computer audio? I know, we have Steve at Empiracle Audio with his 30 day money back guarantee, to make it all better. Me, I would rather not buy off the rack in a custom audio world.

We can all see the original question. While I posted my usual, smug, remark, the responses (thanks, Charles), did conjure up some nice discussions (finally), where there's finally talk where the USB interface may just be more convenient than better sounding.

Happy to be a part of it.
