The 3rd gen gear uses the CL 192kHz/24 bit “Fast USB 2” chips that have been out since late 2019. So is nearly everyone else but the new gear is head and shoulders above what came before. Integrating the mic pres, DAC, ‘phone amps, DIs etc. onto a single chip results in RTL (round trip latency) being close to the theoretical minimum.
