Default MBOX 2 Observation

Why isnt the MBOX 2.... USB 2.0 class compliant? Why does a Digidesign product like the MBOX 2 have crappier specs compared to a Creative EMU 0404? Why would anybody buy a MBox instead of a m-audio interface with m-powered? These questions are haunting my purchase decision. Anybody?

Default Re: MBOX 2 Observation

USB 1.1 allows bidirectional data transfers.

USB2.0 requires buffering which is not a good thing for audio.

At the Mbox specs 44 and 48KHz USB 1.1 is fine.

So they say
