I saw a discussion about Steinberg intending to offer a user installable interface board change on the Thunderbolt version of the AXR4 allowing the Thunderbolt 2 connectors to be replaced with USB3C connectors. This seems viable given the tech specs of data throughput of Thunderbolt2 and USB3c.
Has anyone heard anything about such a possibility?
It’s about time they offered an optional card to change the connection.
I have the USB version and now I need more inputs and outputs, and I have no solution, except to sell it and forget about this company’s interfaces forever.
It’s also a big bummer that the AES/EBU connector is not standard wired, but Yamaha standard, and I have to waste a lot of time rewiring my AES/EBU cables.
What are you talking about? This is absolutely not true. Just get the adapter. I have an M1 mac mini, and M2 macbook Air, an M1 Macbook Pro and a windows PC with Thunderbolt 4. It works on all of them. People keep repeating this nonsense. BUY AN ADAPTER.
