Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

RE: And of the three, USB, WiFi and Ethernet...

USB is engineered for lowest possible cost over short distances with control from a central point.

Perhaps more accurate to say USB is typically engineered for lowest possible cost . . .

My post listed four technologies. Of the four, only I2S was originally designed for streaming audio.

Well, yes and no. IIRC, USB had, for technically sound reasons, a separate Audio class, if not from the off, then very soon after.

Some argue that I2S was never really designed, just cobbled together as a temporary fix but that it sort of stuck around.
