Please re-read my response. I never said that USB would always constrain the audio quality, but if you get a cheap USB to aux converter, the quality would be lacking vs a more expensive solution.
You are making just such a weird argument and it sounds like you are retroactively trying to salvage a bad position because you made a mistake.
If you care strongly about audio quality. A built-in doesn't have any quality guarantees… why then does usb vs hat matter?
If quality is your concern why bring up price in the first part? It is blatantly obvious that cheap parts *might" equate to cheap quality. This is blatantly obvious.
Obviously there will be USB solutions that are equal or better solutions than prebuilt rpi dac hats since the primary dac hats are exceptionally niche.
This response just sounds like you got caught out in your mistake/bad argument. Why be a dick about it?
If I'd made a mistake I would go back and correct it without giving it a second thought, but I will concede that maybe it wasn't clearly argumented. Maybe I sounded like a dick to you but I assure you it wasn't my intent. "There are nice islands in a sea of dicks"
Why would you expect USB to constrain your audio quality?
You’re not getting better 0s or 1s based on which bus they’re sent over to the DAC.
