MOTU 828: No TB, no AVB

[Peter Korsten]

MOTU have actually released a new 19" audio interface for the first time 
in, what, six or seven years?

So it has USB-C (USB3), but it lacks Thunderbolt and AVB. Can't say that 
I'm really surprised about either: AVB has appeared to be dead for a 
while now, and TB is a pain in the arse to use on Windows. Plus, cables 
and converters are very expensive.

I know that Tony and Joost have experimented with AVB, but to me it 
looks like it really is a dead end now. Which is a pity, because I could 
see a use case with some synths in a different room. But if I'm honest, 
the USB2/Ethernet combination of my 24Ai is a bit awkward.
