People could be confused, the OTG port looks exactly like the "micro power USB" port, they are physically identical. Someone could plug the OTG port into a charger and nothing happens, or plug the charger port into a computer and expect it to be a USB DAC and nothing happens. We can label one power and the other data, but there are still people that don't read labels on the back panel. All the other jacks have a unique function for the type of jack, this would be the exception where two physically identical jacks have different functions. That brings up another issue, do we want labels on the back pannel, and if yes, should they be text or icons, and if text what language. Most of the jacks should be pretty obvious to anybody who will be using this device: RJ-45 for ethernet USB type A jack for USB host RCA jacks for analog TOSLINK jack for optical S/PDIF HDMI jack for HDMI Standard barrel jack for power BNC for coax S/PDF The only one I see as a little unusual is the BNC for coax S/PDIF Then we have a micro USB for data (to use as a USB DAC) and a USB micro for power.
