I might be completely wrong, but I think, USB 2.0 has the same latency as USB 1.1. IIR all you get from 2.0 is more bandwidth. Clemens, correct me if I'm wrong. ;) Anyway not many 2.0 devices are supported. The only interesting one from Edirol AFAIK isn't. And regarding latency of USB 1.1 devices: It's the same for every device, so you're free to pick any if only latency is of concern to you. Generally the latency of USB devices is not as bad as one may think. It's perfectly possible to run jackd with 3 periods and 256 period size on a stock 2.6.18 kernel with preemption enabled without dropouts using 2 in/6 out channels at 48kHz. I do this regularily. You can even go with smaller period sizes like 128 and even 64 and sometimes 32, but 64 and smaller is quite a burden to the machine and I would recommend a rt-patched kernel then. But then I'm happy with 3/256 periods in jackd. Good cards come from Edirol, but I own the Terratec Phase 26 because it's cheaper and also nice and sturdy.
