USB to SPDIF Convertors ideal?

I've been wondering about that, too.  Off the top of my head, I can't see how the USB input could be improved upon for accuracy of data delivery, since it doesn't require the Devialet to recover the audio sample clock as does AES/EBU or S/PDIF.  Also there is much more robust error detection in USB.  But - speculating wildly - it may be that the USB input is more prone to inject noise into the Devialet ground plane?
