USB interconnecting will bring in noisy ground loops that will have musicians and recording engineers pulling out their hair.
I just switched to a bus-powered USB-C (Arrow) audio interface and have picked up a nasty ground loop/dirty power noise problem in the process. Current setup is a MacBook with the Arrow directly plugged in, and MacBook powered by a second thunderbolt 3 connection to an OWC Tb3 dock, and I am assuming if I power the Mac with its dedicated power supply the noise issue will go away, but if it doesn’t... well, I don’t know what else I could do to fix it.
In the past I’ve solved all similar issues by using a powered USB hub between the problem devices and laptop.
