Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

RE: Merging HAPI as digital transport

There is a very obvious limitation in case of USB: cable length 5m max.
A nuisance at the home occasionally, prohibitive in a studio.
With Ethernet you don't have this problem.
You can reduce the amount of analog cable substantially by replacing them by a single CAT cable.
Cost and flexibility is where AES67 style protocol is about.

At the home I do think the network solution (streaming) is by far the most popular in market share be it DLNA or Airplay.
