Basically, it is a hijacked and shared interface which contains the problems described below. Because of this, it is the least robust of the audio interfaces.
I have drawn attention to this for quite a while, particularly the sensitivity of async usb sound to cabling and power supply.
However, some of the inmates who are now admitting the the drwabacks have been strong proponents of usb over Firerwire and spdif done well simply because they make such dacs. For me, they should attempt to tackle the issues and not try to discredit doubters.
