I think we want to do both USB and S/PDIF. A good impelemetation of async USB is very different than a good implementation of S/PDIF, the result is that most DACs are better at one or the other, even if they contain both inputs. Theoretically a REALLY well done USB should be better than a REALLY good S/PDIF, but there are so many variables in implementation that making generalizations about existing products is next to impossible.
