I do read some hype into the above information.For example, Bert Doppenberg has mentioned that he can hear the difference between USB cables. So no jitter penalties -- I doubt it.
On the other hand, enough smart people with good "ears", such as Bert and Gordon, have commented on improvements so it would be cool to experiment with it myself, using my RAKK DAC as a platform.
Also, I've heard Bert's TwinDac and thought it sounded quite good.
What I don't understand is why asynchronous mode on USB can be good for jitter reduction. I don't claim to really understand it but would like to learn more. Clearly the asynchronous packets are chock full of jitter when they are going over the wire so there must be more going on.
Some of my questions: 1) Where is the clock coming from in this case? Is it somehow imbedded in the packet stream? 2) Is it because the USB receiver chip is good at buffering, or is there more to it than that?
