Oh, yeah, Windows versions < 7 simply don't support the USB Audio Class 2.0 specification and as such High Speed USB audio doesn't work out-of-the-box. Add it all up and it gets expensive really quickly. (I've looked.) The next step up is a BridgeCo device which is more expensive and has more features than the price point supports.Īnother option is for Apogee (or whoever is building the product) to roll their own High-Speed USB interface in an FPGA either with or without an external controller. There is no simple High-Speed replacement for this device. The reason for this is the these products are based on the TI TAS1020B USB audio interface chip, which is limited to Full-Speed USB. I mean christ they all top out at 48k, dont have spdif and you are forced to choose between speakers hooked up or headphone out. ![]() I've said it elsewhere, I am pretty dissapointed that apogee is diluting its brand with so many feature-stripped MI level interfaces. Just the brand name and conversion that tops out at 24/48.
