For the HRT StreamerII line to work properly you need a USB2 hub. The hub can either be bus powered or externally powered, either way works fine. The Touch supplies plenty of power for the HRT devices, the reason you need a hub is that there is a bug in the Touch hardware which prevents it from running async with a full speed DAC (such as the HRTs), the USB2 hub talks high speed to the Touch and full speed to the DAC and thus circumvents the bug. You CAN use an externally powered hub if you like, but it's not required.
