That was my hope, but I didn't check the specs if it would be possible.

UAC2 with USB3 would be a good combination. With the "usb3" "uac2"
keywords in Google you find some developments for a "USB Super Speed patch"
in USB3 audio drivers. I think it's realistic because UAC2 is supported
in Linux and USB3 is now common in modern PC. With about 5 Gbit/s
it allows broadband SDR solutions, hopefully also low-cost ones.

At least in Linux you can tune the drivers if you want.

Sync problems? I thought, the "audio" devices implement
a fixed sampling clock and the USB transmission is buffered to
achieve a continuous stream without gaps or clock variations.
Only the PC audio output has a different clock, but that problem
occurs with other external sources too, like the USRPs.
