Analog out necessary?
As I have mentioned before we are working on our own HD FM/AM USB radio receiver.
We had always planned on using audio over USB to eliminate some the fuss related to analog audio integration and the hassles associated with finding another line input especially for those with satellite radio who might not have any more auxiliary inputs.
The reasons why we have wanted to go 100% audio over USB is:
Similar connection
Less clutter and connections on device
Less chance to introduce noise into the system
Some downsides are:
Less flexibly with connections - have to use it with a computer
Can anyone come up with a completing reason why we should or should not include the option to have an analog out? The analog out would be a set of standard 1 volt RCA jacks.
Ideally I would have liked to have the option for a SPDIF output, but that is not going to going to be possible for a number of reasons.
