Curious if there is any benefit, drawback, or no difference at all if I run my USB2 DAC on different speed/power ports? If I run it in USB2, it frees up a USB3 slot for something else, of course.
Using this little SybaSonic DAC SD-DAC63118, DAC/ADC: C-Media CM6533, Op-Amp: TI-LM4562, I have the option of USB2, USB3.2 Gen 1 or 2 ports. I know USB3 delivers more amperage and speed, but could that be a bad thing to a USB2 audio device?
Observations I've noticed:
1. It behaves and sounds exactly the same to me on USB 2 or 3.
2. My backlit keyboard goes through the whole startup, blink blink flash flash light show when I boot on USB2, but on USB3 it just goes from lights off to on with no full display cycle, which tells me USB2 shuts completely down with power off, where USB3 stays in some powered standby state? Is that good or bad for the USB2 DAC?
Thanks.
