USB Bridges are not perfect. Some do not work well or at all with external drives. Others sometimes fail during use for unknown reasons even without parallel use of other computer functions.Why are there no serious tests on the integrity of usb/firewire connections; just statements that they are superior. I have found that MAudio usb boxes consistently cause software problems on quite different computers.
Some, please don't say that computer audio is perfect because it is theoreticaly 'perfect'.
Computers are still noisy despite so called silent boxes. There is noise and vibration from the drives and power supply unless one takes extreme measures. This is enough to downgrade the actual signal to noise ratio of -96 dB for CD. Hi Fi boxes can reach this or lower with hirez sampling and bit depth.
