Hi,
i'm currently looking for interfaces that have more than 16 digital
outputs for higher-order ambisonics
applications.
One of my requirements would be that they work with recent laptops,
that is laptops that don't have
expresscard or firewire interfaces, as those unfortunately aren't
built any more.
I've stumbled over a LAU post from 2016 where options were discussed.
There's the DiGiCo UB Madi that is reported to work, but the price is
ridiculous, and also it seems
rare/hard to be obtained or even out of production.
The RME Madiface USB aren't working at all (tried one of them myself).
So, the PCIe and ExpressCard versions of the RME MADI interfaces have
been reported working,
but has anybody ever tried to use them with USB-to-PCIe or
USB-to-ExpressCard adapters?
That would seem hopeless since they are very unlikely to use the USB
port on an ExpressCard. But a Thunderbolt to ExpressCard adapter might
have a chance of working.
