Yes, altough USB CAN be properly used asyncronously, but almost never is.. However, I did read about an interesting USB clock recovery chip that brought down jitter to extremely low levels -better than existing SPDIF receivers. Seems that the harder the problem the better the solution. SPDIF looks simple, so hasn't been properly engineered (quick lock-on being top priority, it seems). -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
