The USB ASIO driver connects even more external soundcards with a number of audio applications and virtual instruments at latencies so low you can't feel them any longer: down to 4ms according to the company. It's main advantage is a dramatic increase in performance meaning that more of the computer's CPU power can be used for what it's meant for: Sound generation and effect processing.
The driver's available for Windows 98/SE/ME/2000/XP and Mac OS 9 (Mac OS X expected early 2003). A number of companies decided to license and bundle this driver to their hardware, so the driver is available for free to the following devices: Aardvark USB3, Apogee MiniME, Ego-Sys U2A / U24, Ego-Sys Gigaport AG & DG, Sound Devices USB pre, Swissonic USB Studio (D), Media-Assistance USB One and Yamaha UW500.
