USB C audio interfaces?
 
I am starting to see some models showing up by : UA / M Audio / and most recently presonus.


Has anyone had any experiences with any of these? Thoughts?

Hi lampmusic,
To be clear, our Apollo X interfaces are Thunderbolt 3, not USB-c. While these two share a common connector form-factor, they are in fact different protocols.

Please let me know if I can answer any specific questions you might have.

Don’t the UAD Twins have USB-C connectors?

They sell to both sides of the isle right? Mac and Win

Twins are TB2 but we only support TB3 on the PC with the Startech TB3-2 adaptor.

This is due to MS not supporting TB at the OS level until Win10 Anniversary Edition.

So the reason this interface isn’t mentioned is b/c USB-c and USB3 are different, I assume?

This is probably the older version as well right?

Wow never seen this one before either......hard to say since some of these products are so new.

I had not seen the Presonus either

Correct. Our USB products are PC only and for users that don't have TB.

BTW, rumor has it that USB4 will adopt Thunderbolt 3 as its spec.

Interesting, i didn’t know that either.

Yes I would guess that’s late 2020 before we see those in the wild....(earliest)

Heck I’m still using FW800 for remote gigs [emoji23]

I ordered one of the M-Audio USB C interfaces. It's on back order, so once I actually get it, I'll give it a test and see how it compares to the USB 2 interfaces. I like the idea of a USB-C interface, even though you can argue that USB 2 is fast enough.
