If you mean hardware analyzer, we're very happy with the Ellisys USB
Explorer. Its software runs on a PC, its connection to the PC host is USB
2.0. We've also used the CATC (now LeCroy) analyzers in the past but found
the Ellisys provide us a better price/performance ratio for the kind of work
we do (software development). If you're developing USB hardware you may be
better served with the LeCroy.

If you're talking about a software sniffer like Bus Trace for the PC, there
isn't one for the Mac. There's a third-party opportunity!

You can also install the debugging USB family and use USB Prober from Apple
to trace *all* USB activity, in sometimes excruciating detail.
