USB sucks
@herman  As a programmer and electronic interface design engineer, you're not "locked" into using isochronous mode: You have bandwidth and buffers so if i can transfer 500 MBps+ (using SATA SSD = 4 Gbps+) of data without error (well, if there are ... 
USB sucks
And for all those who put BS on this board, just grab this before making a fool of you...https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Digital-Communication-Robert-Gallager/dp/0521879078 
USB sucks
@herman "Transmitting audio data in realtime is not the same as transferring TeraBytes of data files. You should look into it before making such statements."Ok go ahead and explain me how it is different!! YOU should study about async digital comm... 
USB sucks
@papagiorgo Another non tech that don’t understand and speak out BS... "USB does carry and introduce a noticeable amount of noise into the DAC, even with high-quality USB cables." The, you have a badly designed USB DAC... Throw it to trash, it is ... 
USB sucks
@rixthetrix  Wow, a "technician" that doesn't know about detection level, encoding, checksumming and buffering...  You are mixing things and ethernet category of cables have nothing to do with USB cables...Obviously, you don't know about high-spee... 
USB sucks
@djones51  An USB DAC uses async digital transport with buffering.  Then, it uses its own accurate internal clock generator to convert the digital data to analog.So USB clock is not related to quality of sound whatsoever, nor cabling or connectors... 
USB sucks
@sgreg1  "none of the noise people complain about from usb"HA HA HA! Noise from a digital transport, that's the most stupid thing i read since a long time!!!  You can transfer terabytes of data with USB WITHOUT ANY ERRORS using a simple cheap USB ... 
USB sucks
@antigrunge2 you don't seem to understand how USB works (like a charm by the way) and digital transport in general...The cables DO NOTHING (unless completely broken!), it's just low speed digital transport with checksumming.  The DAC must run in a... 
Anybody want a laugh?
@glupson It's up to whom is interested.  I prefer to give more infos than less.I just hope it can help audiophiles make good choices for themselves and better spend their money for the ultimate goal: Enjoy music and good sound! 
Anybody want a laugh?
@dougeyjones That's right.  There are people here that are making profits out of plain lies...  The stupid "bit argument" i hear so often is so DUMB...As for DD-WRT, i used it a while back on Linksys WRT54G, it was so much better that the stock cr...

Anybody want a laugh?
@nonoise  Yeah i know, you don't have "a dog" to respond to real arguments...  Your previous response "fueled" mine trying to sound superior and shut down real world digital principles..."Knowing how it works doesn’t preclude that something poorly... 
Anybody want a laugh?
@nonoise Not knowing how digital works really shows you need a primer on electrical engineering and design... Same applies for networks.About the link to this fallacious article you provided, it is only trying to look like "technical" but only to ... 
Anybody want a laugh?
The more i read this topic, the more i see that a large part of people here don’t understand how networks work. Yes it’s really about 0’s and 1’s and from end to end, TCP/IP network equipment calculate / validate a checksum. (UDP/IP does it too)So... 
Everything Matters With Digital
@sfseasy You're mixing things...  The raspberry pi has more than enough CPU power to send bits to a DAC.  That's what i use to play through my DAC.  The sound quality comes from the DAC and the DAC is using asynchronous USB so "timing" has no mean...
