>>>You forget that TI developed the first Adaptive USB interface chip, and they did a really poor job of it. It took them several iterations to get it right.
But they got it right correct, and they are still doing plenty of studies on USB as well as developing new methods to reduce USB jitter....the right way.
No doubt you believe in your abilities, but TI is more than a bunch of idiot Engineers with crappy test equipment and methods. Surely they spend more on R&D than most Audiophile Dac makers make within a year and their R&D stands to make them Billions.
Pride is good to an extent, you should be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished. I myself think you have done an excellent job with your business -but- if TI says one thing and you say another, don't be offended if I go with TI.

Look, you need to understand what large companies are really like. I designed and managed design engineers for 16 years at Intel and was a design team lead on Pentium 2. I have been doing digital design for 36 years for various computer and computer peripheral companies. The number of really talented designers in this large population was actually surprisingly small. After modding Sony and Pioneer products for many years, I have a really good sense of the caliber of designers they get for consumer products.
I am not saying that the TI plots are not accurate. What I am saying is that a better cable of this length would have a more open eye-pattern. Better drivers at the transmitting end would help also. These are facts.
Big companies are not a panacea by a long shot. Often what happens is the really talented designers become managers too early and then the design work gets done by junior engineeers. This keeps design costs down and they can work them to death without complaints. Its a shame and a waste IMO. Most big companies have major difficulty with innovation and making it happen. You will notice how long we have been waiting for TI to put out another USB chip. It was XMOS who put out the latest generation, not TI. TI could have done it.

I worked at Ford Design&Engineering for 21 yearsAlthough Ford is named after a family its hardly a mom and pop business...ya think????
I know very well how large corporations work after spending more than 2 decades of my life in one...
Large corps are slow movers, big ships take time to turn. On the other hand they do have talent and they do have solid processes.

Perhaps at Intel but not at Ford. Talented Engineers are too valuable to move out of that position. People with less Engineering talent but more people talent get moved up and promoted. To compensate the talented Engineers get nice raises and bonuses and actually make nearly as much or just as much as the Manager. I have spent more than 20 years working with some real talented people, the likes of which I have yet to see on these boards...except for a few...
