Ralph, Im again not getting you - how do you reach your conclusions regarding USB replacing spdif? To me it reads like argument-by-magic, to stay with the terminology of recent threads.
As far as I know its simply a matter of a sum of factors deciding which interface shall prevale. Its a datatransmission interface-issue. In fact the whole interfaceinduced jitter/error-discussion stems from the shortcomings of spdif as a realtime transmission protocol. As you state, USB is ubiquitous in computing, so thats bound to weigh heavy in future developments. As far as the technical side of things, USB is clearly the superior, up to date standard, but as such orthogonal in properties to spdif - its different things. But it makes sense to leave spdif as technology evolves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97489 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
