A Note on USB Connectivity:
While the connection from a PC or iOS device may be running at the high speeds that are normally
associated with Ethernet-based connectivity (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) the communication between USBX
and USB-connected amplifiers still runs at USB 1.1 speeds (~12.5 Mbit/s). When connecting to
multiple USB-enabled ampliciers, always give the USB devices appropriate time to connect to USBX
and the HiQNet control network.
