Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar?

I was wondering if they were all the same, or were certain designs better than others?

I believe that there are most likely excellent examples of most

Not so. The jitter of the source is more important, particularly if you goal is to eliminate harshness and get more detail, better slam and imaging" Steve, you convinced me of this at least a year, maybe 18 months ago. I have used 3 different inexpensive converters and even at this level, converters made a difference. I wish we could all afford your products, but Life is what it is... Why is it that Top quality USB Converter/re clockers are not typically built into the DAC itself, or why can't it be or maybe why is it that outboard USB converters seem to always be better than an onboard unit? Power supply?
