Does anybody know the details of error handling in USB audio?
AFAIK there is no repetition of corrupted data packets, but there will be some kind of error detection/correction (redundancy of data via mathematical codes).
As i'm using a rather short, well shielded USB cable, there is no fear of excessive data corruption, but it would be very interesting to see the degree of "data correctness" finally achieved. But i don't know any home entertainment device offering that degree of access to internal processing.
Since USB can handle a maximum speed of 480 Mbit/s and high quality music streaming lies around the 3 Mbit/s mark, there's very little chance any data will be lost.
