Re: [LAU] Terrasoniq Phase X64 USB audio interface?

Hi Paul, I was afraid somebody would say this :-) Yeah, situtation with USB 2.0 looks really awful, I was just curious when I read this line on http://www.musonik.com/index.php/terrasoniq-PHX64.html To me this sounded like there is some kind of standard-conformity, but so far I've not even been able to get this thing running properly under Windows 7 on my notebook, either I caught some malware or the interface is drawing too much power, the computer is behaving quite strangely... Thanks for your answer anyway, I will post here if I find out anything new...
