the more I think about it - the less sense it makes...

lets think of a simple music CD, it sampled at 16 bit, and in a rate of 14400 Hrz
16 bit X 2Channels X 14400 Hrz = 460.800 Kbit/sec
USB 1 can transfer up to ("up" to) 14 Kbps...
USB 2 can tranfer 100 and somthing
both canot tranfer that amout of data.. without downsample it to less then MP3

now lets talk about DTS it transfer 6 chanels and in much more Kbps per channel from the music CD
not even firewire 800 (that can get to 800 Kbps) can hendle DTS
that's why you need a cabel with almoust no speed limit (like fiber optics!)

I think this sound card is fooling me around, in the best case the quality is downsampled to like zero Kbps for each channel.

agree?
