Hello.
Have you seen all this amazing miniPc we can have for less than 200€? Like Intel Alder Lake N95 Quad Core 3.4GHz, 16 Go DDR4.

Little, transportable, powerful, absolutely silent, economic, cannot overheat because don't consume energy ... really perfect for MAO !
I've tested it, perfect ... if a descent audio card can be link to it !?
The only missing feature is about connection/extension.
(In short we always have usb 2/3, hdmi, DP etc for video.. and that's all)
I see only 2 idea:
1 - USB audio card? Damn, as I know, usb audio cards for GNU are quite limited, I wish 8I/O real time. As we easily have with firewire. (that's why I've a PCI-e/firewire adapter for my focusrite)
2 - So, convert firewire to USB 3 ? Is that possible? Please say yes ! I need to connect my firewire interface to this hardware!!
PS: Ow, maybe another option with thunderbolt ?
Best.
