Thank you, Mr. Krueger. Coming from you, this is
praise indeed (vide Dr. Glen Zelniker's public views on
your knowledge of digital theory). But as always, you
would do better actually reading what I write before
criticizing it. Yes, some USB implementations suffer
from surprisingly high amounts of word-clock jitter -- as
high as 10s of nanoseconds -- but my primary concern
of late has been the fact that it is all too easy for
consumers _not_ to get bit-transparent transmission
of audio data via USB in both PC and Mac worlds.
