The USB protocol is filled with digital nasties and thus presents many opportunities for enterprising companies and individuals to address these issues. To me the real issue is why is are USB DACs even used when there are other ways to transmit digital audio data without all of the baggage that USB brings. And as I stated in another post USB is just the tip of the iceberg since the next big thing in audiophilia will be trying to turn the sow's ear known as bluetooth in a silk purse. However this will only make the purses of many manufacturers into gold.
Remember that the start of most, if not all, of these audio wild goose chases can be traced to the various clowns in the high end audio press since they so willingly repeat rumors and subjective opinions as if they were scientific facts.
