FWIW: I use almost exactly the same configuration as Michael (except its 
been either a Command IR II or an MCE for blasting. Virtually no issues 
at all.  I will mention that when I feed it from an older Bell Satellite 
receiver (I can't remember the model, buts it same as Disk network used 
to use) it still gets audio sync troubles, but only through the SPDIF 
port.  If anything else shares the same usb bus (or apparently even 
driver) which is a low speed usb device, then I run into issues (mouse, 
APC-UPS, the CommandIR unit, modem).

Cheers,

Andrew.
