> usb bridges are universal and the chips form the basis of usb operation; not just cameras - I don't know why you say this.Oh, *that* type of bridge. There is a USB product class called a bridge that lets you plug a camera directly into a printer, or hard drive, or whatever.
Actually USB bridge chips are only used when converting from USB to another bus type, such as 1-wire or SATA. On the computer side of things you have host controller chips, and most USB driver chips in peripherials are integrated into the micro. Many USB audio devices, for example, have the USB driver hardware integrated into the DAC.
> If usbs are bomb proof, why do they fail?
Usually it's a problem with bad driver software or lousy hardware design. If most USB hard drives are $150 and you buy an off-brand model for $80, guess where they're cutting corners?
> they are more prone to failure than the good old hi fi boxes which have software and hardware integrity until something fails and lets you know.
It's no different than hifi gear. If you buy cheap junk, in the computer or hifi product arena, it's more likely to fail.
By the way, what does any of this have to do with the quality of USB cables, which is what I was originally arguing about?
> The only way to be objective is to subject computer audio systems to the same tests as hifi systems.
What makes you think they aren't?
