RE: Cable effects same regardless of USB mode

But isn't it true (all else being equal) that logically the best async implementation will perform better than the best adaptive implementation, given that the async doesn't have to deal with the large amount of jitter from the USB frame that the adaptive one does?
Additionally, in terms of absolute clock frequency, adaptive can only be as good as the PC, whilst in async it can be as good as the DAC manufacturer wishes it to be?
