It will be for the audiophile community which wants to use usb (several people using touch for this for example). Some dacs work best with usb others best with spdif. John can comment in more detail than me, but I think we need to make sure both work. Otherwise there will be a parallel development of people wanting usb dacs and looking at other hardware which will fragment the effort.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
