  Have you guys seen Ip Man?

Yep.
 
I didn't like it that much. Definately glad I saw it, but didn't like it.
 
The backing story for IP man is a bit ludicrous. He's shown as a well mannered, humble, and devoting man when he actually wasn't. Dude also didn't have that hard of a hardship in life. Much more wealthy than the film made him out to be.
 
He 'fled' to Hong Kong to protect his wealth. The movie also paints mainlanders as barbarians, thieves, and rebels who have come to sully the peace of the humble Ip man. 
 
Good film and nice choreo. But the under-rooted HK political theme it had with the film really irked me. 

It was probably to please its target audience, and being a Hong Kong production it can't be helped. HK and mainland China don't mix well.

Another one of these polls that I can't 100% wrap my head around.

And there you go, USB-C is USB 3.1.

Mhmm. USB-C is supposed to be able to transfer 100W of power and I think 10Gbps data transfer rates which are only covered in the 3.1 spec.

Well, I think many DACs are moving towards USB powered. Amps on the other hand...we'll see.

I'm worried about tat amount of power going through very thin cables.
 
Cheap cables will obviously be made and sold with very light AWG grade.

Expect lots of death from cheap Chinese USB-C products.

I don't even know if there are any USB 3.0 DACs other than the iFi ones (I think, don't quote me on that).

Yeah, you can now use USB as a cheap makeshift torture device 

 
From what I'm reading though. Normal USB Type C won't have Power Delivery mode of 20V at 5amps. It needs to be more specific cables it seems
 
but like you say, super cheap Chinese PD enabled Type C with cheap ass wiring.

At the very least the ODAC is powered via USB (mini-B USB 2.0) and the Stoner Acoustics UD1XX DACs all work fine, even off of a smartphone.

I guess iFi is USB 2.0 after all.

Only with some smartphones. ODAC doesn't work with iDevices by iteslf. : p

Eh...needs standardization. Unfortunately not all smartphones have the same power output or have UAC support (why some manufacturers don't have it on an Android kernel that supports it, I don't know).
