Sure!!
There are two important things to note here.
One is USB class. There is USB 1.0 class audio - 16bit /44.1kHz - and USB 2.0 class audio - 24bit/48kHz.
Other is that this particular feature needs two drivers - one in the MOD and one in the Host machine (your PC for example).
The stretch goal is for the compete package - USB 2.0 audio device inside the MOD Duo + USB 2.0 24bit Drivers for Linux, MAC and Windows hosts.
Being totally honest, our main concern is the Windows driver and this is where a big chunk of the stretch goal money goes.
Actually if you consider only the Linux environment ( MOD Duo + Linux host) the Audio Driver already exists and depends much more on the ALSA implementation inside the MOD than any other thing.
Hope to have clarified
