Hey everyone, I'm a relative newbie to this type of stuff but I'm hoping someone can explain something to me. Why is it so rare to find high quality sound cards with USB outputs? I was told on another forum that 3.5/6.5 mm outputs are superior to USB for transmitting audio, and I've since learned that USB 1.1 (not sure about the 2.0 standard) output has audio limitations not shared by its 3.5/6.5 mm output counterpart. Hopefully it isn't too complicated to explain why this is the case? Also, will we ever see high quality audio streamed through USB via a sound card so that high-quality USB-interface audio devices can realize their full potential: i.e. speakers and headsets?
