I'm currently using a USB 3.0 AI (Zoom UAC-8) <-- 5 GB/sec Transfer Rate
I guess I wonder about what the difference would be, exactly, between what I'm currently using and, say, "Thunderbolt 3" for example..
Obviously, TB3 has a much higher Data Transfer Rate (40GB/sec).. I wonder, though, would this make my inputted Bass Guitar, for example, sound any better?
Just wondering..
Can anyone provide some insight?
I was thinking, earlier, about the difference between upgrading my Processor versus upgrading the AI tech / Data Transfer Rate (like.. from USB 3.0 to 3.1 or TB 3)
And that lead me to post this question.
Thanks,
