Re: You should read up on audio USB

If the data is buffered on the receiving end, the rate at which the data is sent from the computer (or whatever source) is not important.

Now, I realize that the USB DAC that is doing this buffering of incoming data (if such a DAC were to exist) could introduce jitter on its own. But that would have nothing whatsoever to do with the computer that sent the data in the first place, the CD it what ripped from, the CD-ROM drive that was used to rip the drive, the hard drive the data was stored on, the brand of memory in the computer, the length of the USB cable, and so on. Removing all of those elements from the equation is the reason such a DAC is desirable in the first place. Unfortunately, such a DAC, and the computer driver software to support it, does not currently exist.
