    I general, you don't want too fast of an interface for audio. The receiving side will be whaling like mad dog with high speed buses like Thunderbolt . USB 2.0 is plenty and anything more may be harmful than helpful. As noted, USB is not going anywhere. USB 3.0 has recently come to market and is backward compatible. I have zero fear of USB availability well into the future.

    Sorry, but those are not my words. If you read my post, you will see I am quoting.

    So then you are quoting but yet not endorsing?

    Exactly. I wanted to get some opinions without getting too far off topic as there are a lot of smart members here that I greatly respect ( but not always agree ).

    But your remark in reply to me - 'Plenty' was not a quote. So what leads you to think that Thunderbolt has relevance to audio please?

    Yeah no worries, I'm cool that you asserted something for no reason at all.

    I take it you no longer wish to drop this. I'll answer your question after you've answered my earlier one.
