USB Audio Class 2 - Limitations - Sample Rates - Bit Depths - Surround - DSD

I am doing some testing right now. I was going to order Supra Cables USB 2.0 to see how USB Audio Class 2 is working.

But what limitations do USB Audio Class 2 have? I assume that it can not handle surround and DSD? Even if the DAC can?

I am new to the “USB world” so help is appreciated. Thanks

Why not? AFAIK both work (DSD via DoP). Most limitations users may experience/run into are based on their audio device in question (feature not supported) and not the UAC 2 standard.
