    That would definitely help. Good call.

    Well I thought I would give it a little time before I updated this thread, but I have never gotten a response from IOGear, D-Link nor. Koutech

    Which is a shame. I still am trying to get info on whats available.

    what i never understood is why NI, Vestax, Akai, Korg never bothered to release a USB hub. it would become the default USB hub for all musicians .. even if it would be overpriced.

    although nice idea .. but to be honest. why did vestax akai, korg, ni release products with a usb1.1 port instead of a usb 2.0 port especially when the new USB 3.0 isn't to far off..

    Firewire has slightly lower round-trip latency than USB. So, in the case of recording through a microphone, processing the sound inside your computer and pumping it back out to the performer, Firewire is preferable. DJ apps almost never need to do roundtrips, they just send *out* music, so USB vs. Firewire in that application is not an issue. Either will do.

    firewire will never fade, its latency for audio and video are superior and the latest firewire hitting 800Mmbps. but USB 3.0 may change all that.


    USB 3.0 (Superspeed USB) will have a theoretical bandwidth of 4.8Gbps (minus packet overhead), ability to provide a 900ma per device current limit. connectors will be different,but are planned to be backwards compatible

    The new 3.0 Spec uses 4 pairs of wires instead of 2 pairs that's used in the current usb 2.0 & 1.0 spec.

    Don't Expect to see usb 3.0 in the mainstream for at least another 1-2 years or so

    Intel is bucking the new usb3.0 and wont support it till 2011 thay have something else they had in the works and calls it code name "Light Peak" it is an Optical cable running at 10Gbps with capabilities to reach 100Gbps in future revisions.

    Their thinking is that "light peak" will be the answer to all high speed connectivity (Sata, USB, Firewire, SCSI, HDMI).
