I respect the whole "Please answer my questions" stuff, after all everyone can do what he likes, but what is the problem about the USB?
If it indeed is 1.1, so, it takes longer to get a sample in, the first time...doesn't Audya has a hard drive? After the first time, it will load from a hard drive. How many megabytes in a sample? 64MB.... it won't take more than 2 mins on USB 1.1, right?
And if it continues to be problem, the whole thing could have been:
"I contacted Ketron about USB specs and still I don't have an answer... I suspect the Audya is USB 1.1 and they won't answer my questions in fear they will lose sales. I don't like that and have lost my faith in the company, I will not buy their products."
