USB outboard sound card comment

I've reviewed the technical specs for over 20 of these boxes all different brands. Not one of them indicates whether their USB interface is 1.0 or 2.0. Big difference. What's with the "sound card" world?

It is a USB 2.0 device but is backwards compatible with USB 1.0. I'm pretty sure most USB2.0 devices are backwards compatible. My Macs are all USB 1 and I've never had any problems streaming audio with them. USB 2.0 has a significantly better data-transfer rate, but in my experience with Mac/Waveterminal/iTunes it makes no difference. If it is not streaming music fast enough you would get pauses in the music. Marco
