The USB C connector is awesome and this is great news.

I still wish the industry would have standardized on the 2.5mm jack. It can be plugged in any direction. You could pull a cord out of a mess of cables and it would not snag as there is nothing to snag on.

Not very suitable for high-speed impedence-matched communication, and not ideal for power delivery: the 'ring' prong in the socket touches the tip on insertion.

And for a 12-wire USB Type-C equivalent you'd need a TRRRRRRRRRRS connector.

Hence why we prefer Speakon connectors instead of those lame jack plugs they insist on putting on all guitar amps (and a great way to blow up a Marshall amp - just half pull that speaker output cable out and watch the valves go a funny colour eventually)
