Audio interfaces

Looks good, interesting little box.
My only concern is, there's no pictures of the "actual" device, only
renders.

Focusrite looks nice, but if you get the Scarlett range, it's a bit at the bottom end, especially in the mic preamps (which I won't use anyway). And USB 2.0 is 18 years old now. The Clarett offers better specs and either Thunderbolt or USB (2.0 and C), but is also considerably more expensive.

Not as popular as Dante, but it's an open standard and in due time it should be possible to connect it directly to a PC (you can already connect it to a Mac).
