RE: Nope: USB is not SOTA, time to say bye bye......

Exactly correct. USB is not SOTA, despite what several small DAC manufactures were smugly claiming five years ago.

I will say this however, USB is worth looking at from small, purpose built, stripped down servers like the SOtM, the Auralic Aries, and a few others. The Aries gives you multiple digital outs, at a higher cost.

Here is very interesting news. Bryston has taken the BDP series and created the a model with just a USB out.

The reason USB, to me, sounds good on these devices is, to simplify, they are built for audio, and don't roll off an assembly line at Foxconn, and don't run bloated commercial mass market O/S's, etc.
