Цитата:Why is there any sound degradation ? it all depends on signal quality. In USB-audio the computer sends the data to the USB-DAC in datapackets.
If the DAC receives error/missing packets there is only a very small timeframe during what the DAC can tell the computer to re-send the packets.
If this timeframe is passed, the music is played without these packets and this is degrading the soundquality. USB-Audio transfer is a completely different thing as USB-data transfer. If eg. a USB-harddisk receives bad packets, the disk asks the computer to resend until the missing/damaged packets are arrived or if the USB cable is bad
they reducing the transfer-speed.
