Compact recording card


Hey guys, a while back I mentioned seeing a compact with a recording interface called "XUSB". Someone had replied and mentioned that this was a new card that would be replacing the XUF on some models. I wanted clarification, perhaps right from one of the Behringer guys, about what the deal is?


 I ask because I plan on selling my X32 and picking up a compact as I rarely need more then 16 channels and would welcome a smaller board to carry around. The shop I work at has received a few in stock, and they seem to sport the XUF card with Firewire. I'm torn about waiting to pickup a compact of they indeed "switch" at somepoint and no longer have FiWi. What's more complicated is when and if they release a Thunderbolt card, which would make it a non-issue. I simply don't want to be stuck with recording USB. I know it works, but to me seems like taking a step back from FiWi.


So 2 questions: When will compacts no longer have FiWi, and when is a Thunderbolt card being released?


Also, what's the easiest way for me to post a song I mixed off an X32 on this board? Soundcloud? I've never done it before. I assume I can't just insert it like an image. Thanks!
