The invention of asynchronous USB has been credited to Gordon Rankin, quite a number of years ago now. John Darko did an interview with him you could google. That could explain a bit.
Ever since Gordon's invention, there haven't been many DACs built with 'normal' USB. Asynchronous is basically industry standard.
In a nutshell; USB sends data in packages so if you were to unpack those packages as they come in and just play them, there would be a timing mess up. Asynchronous USB takes the packages, unpacks them from memory using it's own clocking system and then plays it. Timing issue solved.
