Thanks, TIMO! Yes, the plethora of USB v2 on my DAW PC are indeed of the HIGH SPEED variety and they have indicator's that state 3X the power supply capability over "standard USB". So, in considering any new audio interfaces coming out of NAMM (Roland comes to mind but no idea cost), or any improvements on existing Audio Interfaces from NAMM announcements on the likes of PreSonus, et al, one needs not neccessarily have to sacrafice a limb to gain the well-touted RME variety, right? Will have to look at NAMM listings of AI of the highspeed usb variety. what I have read over and over is on the Firewire side, if you do not have a Texas Instrument chipset Firewire 400/800 on your PC, may not get same performance. Odd that something like Firewire would have a non-standard and i guess that's where as you have clearly showed, the term "Universal Serial Bus" is indeed here to stay. Thanks again and will look at rest of NAMM listings that kind of got buried by Korg, DSI, and Moog.
