Would love a USB 3 adapeter card for Apollo since TB on PC is not happening

If USB 3 would allow for lower latency and greater interconnect headroom over FW800, then lets make this happen! Also, I could use an Surface Pro 3 and not a MacBook for mobile recording with my Apollo.

I think you could be waiting a looooooong time for that. Don't see it happening.

USB 3.1 is 10 gig. i.e. equivalent to TB 1. The interesting thing about USB is that it can be used as an audio only transport. TB has to have a lot of other stuff running on it.

Yes for USB3! Particularly since my 2 brand new Apollo 16 FW were just superseded overnight! Feels like a slap in the face if you ask me. I bought them a little over a month ago. I knew I couldn't expand to more than 2 over FW, but 32 I/O was plenty. I sure didn't expect this model to be eclipsed for PC users! All you had to do is to have the option of a USB3 card in that same slot. you've just lost the entire PC customer base in one swoop. (I might be wrong doubt anyone would want to get relegated to the entry model only without possibility to expand)

UA basically said frick us pc user we don't care that you spent thousands and thousands of dollars on our products even though they could give us thunderbolt support they refuse... Again seems like they made a deal with the devil (mac).... I bought a mac that was supposedly faster than my pc I use and it couldn't handle what I do on my pc with thunderbolt... It's ridiculous how they refuse to properly support pc users...

Do feel for you PC users... There are also plenty of Mac users who could do with this. We don't all use MacBooks and iMacs... Thunderbolt is just a dream in the form of a cylindrical black Star Wars robot.

USB3 would be a GREAT solution. Though I so fear it won't happen. We have to play their game, not visa versa. That sucks right ?
