Perhaps if you actually try to send 64 channels, and if they're actually
using TCP/IP networking. But it was my understanding that they're not,
and that they're just sending a raw PCM signal over an ethernet cable.
(At least, I hope that's what they're doing.) Assuming that is the scenario,
I would imagine latency would be pretty good. I don't know how they'd
ever sell this to guitarists if it weren't.
