I don't think anyone was questioning any of this. I merely asked what was the difference between the USB connection for USB DACs and the internal I2S that DACs like the HifiBerry use, that's all. The Hifiberry isn't ridiculously expensive. Seriously. Most USB DACs are stupidly and unnecessarily expensive and cost way more than 30 euros. I'm the last person that would say there should be any difference.
