I'm inclined to start with a Behringer UMC204HD. Four audio outs and MIDI IO.

This is where I'd start to come unstuck. Anyone got some recommendations
for the board itself? Functioning USB, no proprietary chipsets, or bits
that muck up low-latency. Ideally something that boots fast rather than
sitting around at the Press <F1> to enter setup prompt for ages. Has anyone
got experience of the NUC stuff?
