A usb hub in another hub?

Is this possible? Have you ever tried?

I will soon need to replace my old-time air1 with a new air 5.
I basically have all my midi devices (multiple keyboards, controllers and interface) and audio interface plugged into a usb2 powered hub using 6 ports.
This hub has an extra long cable going into usb to lighting adapter.
For a newer air 5, I will purchase a usb-c hub with a mini jack input probably.

Is it possible to keep my trusty usb2 hub plugged into a usb-c hub without any bugs or failures?

Do you think it can work?

    Yes, it can work. Remember how older PCs may have USB ports on the front, back, and on a monitor. Those are hubs, connected to hubs, no problem.

    You might see a longer lag, however.

    Remember that iPadOS only allows one audio interface. So your mini jack audio output on the USB-C hub will not work when you connect another interface. The rule is: last one connected wins.

  • Oh, I didn’t figure out about pc front/screen usb input acting like daisy chain, thanks for enlightening me!
    In this case I can have my audio interface on the main usb-c hub for max bandwidth and then all my midi devices on the chained usb2.

    Sounds good. Just remember that the USB-C hub/dock may include a USB-C port that is for Power Delivery only (no data). So you'll probably need to connect the audio interface to a USB 3.0 port on the hub/dock.
