USB has nominal 480Mbit/s. Assume you get 30% actual throughput.Stereo 16/44.1 ~ 1.5 Mbit
Stereo 24/96 ~ 5 Mbit/s
Stereo 24/192 ~ 10Mbit/sThis leaves you with enough bandwidth to handle approx 15 stereo pairs at 24/192.
Even entry level USB2 soundcards like the Audigy 2NX handle 7.1 channels at 24/96 plus simultaneous stereo recording at the same resolution.
Higher end boxes like the Motu 828mkII with USB2 interface support
20 channels of input and 22 channels of output concurrently at 24/96.Cheers
