Hi and thanks a lot for the kind congratulations.
On principle asynchronous transmission is indeed a good thing.
I am thinking for instance to those players that fill a buffer and then read with accuracy from that buffer.
The weak link appears the usb channel.
I bought an usb extender that uses ethernet cables and promises to work fine up to 30 meters, much more than usb i guess.
Maybe an ethernet like port could be more suitable for the task of transmitting the digital signal (i am way out my knowledge here).
Given that ethernet allows for much longer cables.
I am using ethernet cables of 10 meters between router and pc and nas.
Absolutely no issue at all ... never.For instance i am reading here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable
" When used for 10/100/1000BASE-T, the maximum allowed length of a Cat 6 cable is 100 meters (328 ft). This consists of 90 meters (295 ft) of solid "horizontal" cabling between the patch panel and the wall jack, plus 10 meters (33 ft) of stranded patch cable between each jack and the attached device "
it's a lot indeed. Way beyond usb standard capabilities.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
bg
