    That's UAC2 that will be arriving.. hasn't the world moved on, and UAC3 been released in the meantime? :)

    I was going to say, No, you must be thinking of USB3.0. But I had the sense to google first!

    And it seems it is a thing, but is for the new USB "C" interfaces on phones. Perhaps the rest of us don't have to worry about it? Yet?

    USB Audio Class 2 drivers, which work over USB 2 or 3. It's the reason why you don't need to install a driver for most DACs to use them over USB on Mac/Linux/pretty much anything else, but you do need to on Windows. Windows is missing the generic class 2 USB audio drivers, so vendors need to supply their own currently, which is a massive PITA.

    Yes, I'm aware of that. And I remember Schiit's response to the ongoing (then) Windows USB-Audio debacle.
    Linux here, so now worries. Except of course, if the vendor decides to do something non-standard, which puts their device off the linux menu.
