Probably the same latency. But higher throughput than usb1. Which leaves room for more channels. :-) > What about USB 2 if/when freebob supports it? freebob will support usb2? freebob won't even get any further release! The next generation is called ffado and is (still) firewire only. And I don't think there are any plans on extending it to usb2. > And just to be clear - if I run jackd -r 48000 -p 64 -n3, is it > correct that the one-way latency in seconds is 64 * 3 / 48000.0 = > 0.004? So round-trip latency is twice that? > (Plus any converter overhead of course.) That value is the time inside the computer. Additional are the times of the converters buffers and the transfer over cable (from the systems memory to the output-buffer of the usb and back). With ffado the latency reported by jack will be the full latency without the converts latency. So its compensating the transports latency...
