Hi,
>There is a very obvious limitation in case of USB: cable length 5m max.
Not really.
There are many possible solutions to the length limit. When AMR made a music servers for our dealers and distributors (not for retail sale, strictly to help them demo our USB input equipped CD-Players and DAC's) from generic touch-screen PC Hardware, we included a 20m active USB cable with the setup.
As I said before, there is no silver bullet in Firewire, Ethernet, USB, SPDIF, AES-EBU or Wifi for transmitting digital audio. Each one carries challenges, limitations and compromises and needs to be implemented well, with a view to what matters in Audio.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
