But being able to just use a plain USB-C cable would be tight.Ĭurious what everyone thinks here. If I got the UFX+, I could use a USB 3 to USB-C cable, or a TB2-TB3 adapter. The only reason I am asking is the connectivity.

The release date of the UFX+ was sometime in 2017-2018 IIRC, and the UFX was 2010?, so the timing seems like it could be right for them to release a unit with TB3/USB4 compatibility.īefore anyone starts saying "you don't need Thunderbolt 3 or USB 4 for audio" - I am well aware that the only thing the protocol does is increase bandwidth which increases channel count. The literal only reason I am hesitant on the UFX+ is that I wonder if RME is planning to release an updated version of the UFX anytime soon. Every 1176 emulation sounds exactly the same fight me Spendy though, and I do not give a shit about UA's plugins. UA Apollo x16 - I would need to use DB25s from the DP88 to make this one work, but it's an option.MOTU 828es - A dear friend of mine has this one and seems to like it quite a lot, but I have no direct experience with it.RME Fireface UFX+ - I'm familiar with the original UFX and it's amazing, so I have no reason to believe the UFX+ will be anything but an improvement in every way.This has led me to basically 3 contenders for a potential interface: I have the Presonus DP88 preamps and they're great, so I want to keep using them. The one tricky need is that an interface needs to support 16 ADAT I/O channels. PreSonus people if you're reading this one, I have words and opinions for you and they're not going to be nice. I decided I wanted to get something much more stable and less likely to be discontinued after 4-5 years, and while I love Studio One and think it's the GOAT DAW, PreSonus's hardware support has been.lacking. I need to replace it because I am getting sorely behind on personal music projects. It will not stay connected to my computer, and when it does it will not record for more than about 2 minutes before seizing up.
