Both FW and USB serve as asynchronous data pipeline, we tried NOT to have differences, even if FW is actually a better, more efficient interface that was designed for streaming while USB is kinda forced to do this.
Also USB on a typical computer has to service the DAC but also mouse, keyboard, maybe harddisk and other stuff all on the same bus requesting interrupts.
As far as why did we include both USB and Firewire, when I was designing the DAC I knew customers like choices (a given in any business) and this way we were appealing to everybody without forcing them to decide prior to buying. If someone wants FW they have it, same for USB. In addition that FW solution has an excellent on chip JET clock PLL which we use for ALL digital inputs (Weiss advertises it with their FW DACs). Having both is also redundant and covers more systems.
