In general about USB and in particular about USB audio:
Unfortunately, USB is one of those narrow-track solutions / standards that has prevailed over better technologies such as FireWire due to its low price and the resulting rapidly growing wide range of products.
USB was problematic from the start and did not have a good reputation in the professional IT sector, and that was not without reason either. The problems could mostly only be solved by using different hardware.
The biggest problems occurred during the introduction of USB 3.0. At that time, many forums kept compatibility lists and magazines, including the `ct, tested umpteen devices to give users information about which devices were working with each other and which were not. That gave even the much more expensive Thunderbolt interface a boost in the Windows world.
But the manufacturers have learned that in terms of hardware they have to do more than the standard requires, and USB 3.0 and its successors are now working well.
However, this comes from my professional experience with many thousands of USB connections, including wireless USB, USB over IP, USB over VPN, network USB hubs, hundreds of USB dongels for expensive software, etc.
As an end user, I never have to have a problem, or constantly, the epitome of chance.
But anyone who is technically familiar with USB and its limitations knows that it was never made, let alone developed, for the transmission of high-quality audio.
So I find it all the more amazing how well USB works for high quality audio! But it's easy for me to talk, I haven't had to install a driver for USB in the last 14 years.
But what idiot came up with the idea of laying a power supply line (and one that is so dirty) within the shielding of a data line for which there is a defined characteristic impedance. What rubbish.
But that's all just my personal opinion.
