Thanks for the info Xmasparty. I did in fact know most of what you were saying, which is why I included the caveat of calling USB the far more accepted interface. You might note, however, that Sony also had a hand in developing the firewire standard, although like most everything they do they went on to make it sound proprietary by calling it ilink. However, since we are audiophiles, a niche market itself, I simply thought that the technically superior firewire standard might confer some benefits, especially since it has already seen usage as a method of transferring high quality audio. Ultimately, however, it seems that you are correct as the market does indeed dictate the availability of receiver chips as noted by Gordon.
