Most of the pcie cards (in fact, all of them in single speed mode) work absolutely fine on
my laptop, given a sonnet echo express IIIe thunderbolt to pcie box.
As said, my set up set me back more than 700 euros …
I have a rme Dante-to-madi usb box here. Never checked usb audio class compliant mode.
Will do.
Best, ph

It's sort of embarrassing but the Hammerfall DSP cards work with either
the Expresscard adapter or an Expresscard-to-Cardbus adapter (the latter
_has_ to map the PCI express lane of the Expresscard slot, not the USB
lane) with the old Cardbus adapter. It's ancient technology with 8
line-in/line-out connectors and quite robust ADAT support, but in terms
of the quality and latency of the available connections and driver
support, it's still unprecedented.
The Expresscard-to-Cardbus adapter solution is not overly convincing
mechanically. And you need to dig up the firmware for 64bit versions of
Linux (no idea where I got my .deb from when I needed to upgrade).
And of course, Expresscard slots are a dying breed as well.

https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user I’m personally quite fund of their (current range
of) pcie cards on Linux
Thanks for mentioning these. Indeed excellent cards it
seems. Forgot to
mention that in my case (lots of live work) I need a laptop card.

People looking into entering the world of ip
audio, in particular
Dante or avb, will appreciate their convertor boxes, esp. to
madi. 0,7 msecs additional latency only.
The last time I recherched, there was no
usable (non-Motu)
class-compliant Dante or AVB card for Linux laptops. Does anyone know if
this has changed?
