This is worthwhile info... Nevertheless, I have to question whether or why any consumer would feel willing to pay $500 (unless you've got that kind of money to toss around carelessly) for a piece of equipment which you then have to spend time getting used to its annoyances, and developing workarounds for its design limitations (failure to build in features that are included on comparably or lesser priced models)... I can find plenty of things in life to get frustrated over without having to pay scarce money for the privilege... --- Buzap Buzap <buzap@gmx.net> wrote: > settings might be also interesting for the group... > > ... > Besides the much cited "hiccup", all other so called "latency issues" >proved to be wrong > settings imo.
