As music servers become more robust and user friendly I believe computers may become less prominent for an audio source and USB may go away.
I think that more reference DAC manufacturers may avoid a USB input over time if music servers become the reference level, fluid user interface source that they should be.

Steve, I'm surprised at your question.
What I'm talking about is the fact that depending on the quality of the design digital noise can couple between different parts of the circuitry in a component, via grounds, stray capacitances, etc. Potentially/theoretically resulting in increased jitter at the point of D/A conversion, and/or effects on analog circuitry.
Where did you get your EE degree?
BSEE Columbia University
MSEE Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
+ 33 years experience designing and managing design of analog, digital, A/D, and D/A converter circuits for defense electronics.
In any event, the bottom line on both of our posts is the same: Implementation is what matters.

Most unclassy indeed. And then he clams up after Almarg's classy reply, tormented by what his next response should be - even more unclassy.
This is why in any forum discussion like this, civilities are of paramount importance. |
Jon2020,
Well said, I have high regard for Al's technical knowledge and just as much for his demeanor as demonstrated once again.

Unless I am missing someone else, 99.999% of us in this forum would agree with you where Al is concerned.
