USB 3.0
« on: October 28, 2010, 06:35:12 PM »
I noticed early this spring USB 3.0 silica started to come out from the gate.

This brings asynchronous transmission, full duplex, higher current, not counting the theoretical 4.8Gbps transmission rate, which sould be all pluses for bit perfect audio.

I did not look which "new" laptop has USB 3.0, but I can already see there will be a new generation of USB 3.0 DAC around the corner.

My recent build featured a USB3 Gigabyte motherboard. It also has the new Intel on-chip graphics and HD 8channel audio.
Amazing what one can get in computer tech for sooo little money.

Well I think the new lineups of USB DACs are going to have to embrace USB 3.0 if they plan on being able to decode any of the new higher bitrate digital protocols (24/96 etc.)

2.0 can already asynchronously transport 24/192.  Digital coax and optical are also good up to 24/192, non-asynchronous though.
