"The replacement of the S/PDIF interface by USB as the de facto standard for transmitting digital audio has been surprisingly rapid." I am referring to all parts of the sentence. For example, are professional recording studios replacing S/PDIF with USB? This nonsense is just another example of how these clowns construct their own reality. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this fascination with USB is ONLY because audiophiles want to use their computers to play music. And the standard USB interface is not very good at transmitting digital audio. There is nothing wrong S/PDIF interface when it is used to transmit digital audio. But most computers do not have S/PDIF outputs only USB so there is a need for an improved USB interface. But this has nothing to do with S/PDIF and USB is not, nor will it ever be "the de facto standard". I stand behind my words and challenge anyone to prove that asynchronous USB "sounds better" than S/PDIF. By that I mean by actually listening to them and making a direct comparison. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97489 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
