No it isn't inferior. I'm sorry, I have to disagree strongly.
Read the TAS article in August 2009 rag, issue # 194.......
The Article is called "The State of USB Audio" by Alan Taffel.
Alan's experiences mirror my own findings pretty closely.

Kingwa's USB implementations have been based on PCM270x chip, so obviously he found the SPDIF to be superior. Many highend audio manufacturers see that USB audio is the way to go for computer-as-source users. Scroll down in the link below to see what Bel Canto, Empirical Audio, Wavelength Audio, Weiss, Ayre Acoustics, Red Wine Audio, and others have to say about computer-as-source. ca intro |
