USB DACs can sound good (I have owned a very nice one), but when I listened to even the entry level LINN DS, it was no contest.
You are entitled to your own opinion. When I heard several Linn servers (they were peddling servers at 3 different price categories) in an all-Linn system at a show I was not tremendously impressed...
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that it is your own ignorance you're talking about. May I ask which USB DACs you have heard that have allowed you to come to the conclusion that they represent an inferior technology?
The connection itself is inferior... and, no, I am talking about your ignorance sir.
