[QUOTE="Chris Wadden, post: 101480, member: 2583"] Re: Interface cards I'm in the same camp, and that's why I picked up a Compact so quickly. I don't know if it's true or not, but I feel like even using a thunderbolt adapter with firewire may perform better than USB 2.0. I've read they work well for audio I/O, when they DO NOT need to supply power. If I remember correctly, firewire was able to provide up to 40mw of power whereas the adapter only allows 7mw?
