impedance match?

It is difficult to see that these internal cables and connectors on MBs adhere to the USB standard. By all accounts, these should be avoided for audio use.

As I have pointed out, the transformation from the A to B connector makes quite a lot of demands on how cables are laid out internally and how these are soldered to the plugs.

A new secure and impedance matched 'standard' for audio is called for.

Note: On my more expensive usb cable (Gemini) and iFi Power combination, the connections are so loose that I have had to crimp the plugs for a more secure mechanical connection. This does not guarantee that internal 'hard' contacts have been made.
