In Reply to: Is Firewire inherently better than USB for a DAC interface? posted by AbeCollins on January 29, 2009 at 09:35:47:
Firewire and USB are just specifications (or several versions thereof). They are just pieces of paper. As such, your question has no meaning. What you can ask is how {device X with firewire interface connecting to cable Y to device Z with firewire interface} compares with {device A with USB interface connecting to cable B to device C with USB interface}.
Unfortunately, there are so many X, Y, Zs and A, B, Cs that you won't be likely to get a useful answer, but there will certainly be lots of different opinions. Asking this question is about as useful as asking whether PCs or MACs are better computers. :-)
