That is such good news.  What(low cost)  hardware would this development be used on to support the developers with testing/debugging and maybe even development ?

* MOTU LP32 (Preferred)
* MiniDSP https://www.minidsp.com/products/network-audio/avb-dg  (I think MOTU's switch uses midDSP switch hardware)

I hope someday it will be possible to connect 4 or more 8 channel ADAT modules (32 channels) to a PC under Ubuntu via AVB with low latency. The only option to get this done under Windows is a Focursrite DANTE based  Rednet 3 right now because Thunderbolt is not really available there as well. Plan to get Rednet3,  but that does not solve the Linux environment which I prefer. Would love to be able to use the Rednet 3 under Linux but since DANTE is proprietary , so unlikely.

My two wishes:
  [a] Multi (16+) channel low latency audio I/O using ADAT audio AD/DA
  [b[ Bitwig  supporting LV2 plugins.

With those two,  the Linux Audio environment would be perfect and the world a better place.
