Before I go ordering a powered USB hub, what happens with two MRCCs plugged into a hub? Does that work or does each MRCC need to be on a dedicated port on the computer?
I have 4 things plus keyboard and mouse that all want USB connectivity to the computer and am trying to figure out the best way to do that.

That's essentially my setup, all 3 USB ports on my laptop are fed by hubs, and 2 MRCCs are plugged into those. On the firmware thread I've described my experience; just noticed the latest update there, which, apparently, I missed last week, so still need to try that out. I noticed you're on a Mac, so mileage may vary, but if anything would probably be better. In any case, there are always 24 MRCC ports available in my DAW, just hasn't been consistent what they're called, but I've managed to find a startup sequence that minimizes the confusion.

There are still some edge cases where the naming convention can fail to follow the new format, but I think you may be the one who ran into that first anyway so you know that. Other than that it should work on paper, but with the caveat that all USB hubs are not created equal. If you do have success with one maybe post the model name up for future reference, (and I guess it's equally important to know if it fails).
