Jcat netcard XE and USB PINK FAUN on which PCIE ports?

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that. If there was a real problem with the USB interface, you’d notice it for sure (e.g. dropouts, glitches in playback). Otherwise the data is getting from A to B just fine.

Think about it - if the USB ports on a motherboard were changing the bits, then your mouse and keyboard wouldn’t be working too well. You’d have inadvertent typos and jumping mouse cursors all the time. The PC would probably be unusable.

Money is better spent on improving the rest of the setup, whether it’s speakers, amp, or DAC (probably in that order). You simply don’t need special USB ports for audio.

Good evening

where did you read that the Pink faun card should not be directly linked to the CPU, I would be curious to find the article

 @marcin_gps told me the opposite in relation to the layout of the USB card that it is to privilege on a PCIE in line with the CPU

thank you for your feedback

Sorry, I can't remember.  It might have been in some forum thread (maybe in the audiophilestyle.com forum).  Take it with a grain of salt.  It might be best just to try on your own.  That being said, the most important part of implementing these cards is the power supply line.  I would recommend Farad Super3 as power supply, but there are others which are great as well.
