RE: USB for Audio (Sprezza Tura)

SPDIF and AES/EBU may have been designed for audio, but not high-end audio. Neither includes all three of the necessary capabilities:

1. a data channel from the transport to the DAC,
2. a separate control channel from the DAC that allows the transport (control point) to tell the DAC what format to use,
3. a clock channel or flow control mechanism from the DAC to the transport that slaves the DAC master clock to the transport clock.
