I'd be curious to know what kind of hardware you are having these experiences with. Is Pro-Lofic a top drawer semiconductor parts supplier? Maybe not the case with them, but you probably know there is a lot of crap that winds up getting into the marketplace from lower tier suppliers. People buy it based on price - crap is cheaper than reliable stuff - not knowing that the quality may not be what they were expecting. Again, maybe not the case for you, but just asking, because your experience seems quite unusual to me. Also unusual for someone to know what kind of USB chips are in their PC. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57941 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
