[LAU] MOTU Ultralite AVB - possible to configure two connected devices without 430 EUR switch?

[Niklas Reppel]

As an alternative, i recently got the Behringer UMC1820. It's 19", but very narrow and pretty light. Doesn't take up much more space than the MOTU if you remove the rack mounts, just in slightly more awkward proportions ... sounds decent and also sells super cheap in Germany.
