Audio Technica LP120 USB- What's the point of USB

No, it’s not lossy. It “streams” a PCM 44.1 or 48k uncompressed signal via USB to your computer, which treats the turntable as a sound device, and then you capture it in real time in software like Audacity, Adobe Audition, etc. What you then do with the file is up to you. If you want to keep it as FLAC, WAV, or something else is up to you.

So there’s literally no difference between that input and line input? Cool.

Point two was just a joke. I always have to fiddle with USBs to get then the right way to go in
