USB is still in it's infancy as a high resolution audio conduit.  SPDIF and AES/EBU were developed for audio to begin with and are very capable.

I propose a survey to the users here.  Who has been successful with Vortexbox running on non USB outputs at native resolutions above 24/96?  What hardware did you use?  What hardware has been successful and what hardware has failed?

It would be helpful to create a compatibility list of motherboards and PCI cards that have worked at high resolution with Vortexbox and Linux.
