USB audio transmission isn’t bit true

[Sonicularity]

I wonder what the special mechanism might be and how the RME device goes about correcting a drop-out.   Maybe they are repeating the last known bit?  I suppose with a large enough buffer that other options would be available.

"The ADI-2 DAC features a unique data checking, detecting errors during transmission via USB and displaying them in the Settings dialog. "Additionally the ADI-2 DAC provides a special mechanism to continue recording and playback in case of drop-outs, and to correct the sample position in real-time."

For the benefit of those of us from other parts of the world, what is the difference between cranky old K1W1s and cranky old Aussies like yourself?

 

Aussies are ridiculously progressive, while Kiwis are ludicrously progressive.  How that relates to audio, I haven't got the foggiest idea.

Then that watch is right, and nobody can tell me that it is broken.  It works exactly as I suspected it would and unless a horologist can sway my already firmly established mind on the matter, I refuse to post further on the subject.
