Hey Guys, dont know how many of you have already seen this info. but recently Via has announced the Envy USB 2.0 receiver/controller. this device allows 8 x 24bit/192khz streams, with i2c, i2s, spdif etc etc. its not a USB receiver that can be harnessed for audio as a result of doing data, its an audio product from the ground up designed for pro audio production and hirez cinema content.
i've sent them an email asking for more info, datasheet and possible samples, not sure about driver support until I get that reply, but it sure looks promising doesnt it?? I may have to sign an NDA to get that info of course knowing today's climate
since the low bandwidth was really the main thing stopping me from being interested in USB for audio i'm quite happy for this announcement. has some nice implications for active crossovers too
anyone else know anything about it? or even better used it?
oh and no its not async, its isychronous with a twist. regardless they apparently have their own system of making sure all the bits arrive in the right order without getting lost along the way
