Allen heath. You are missing a huge market segment by not providing a Thunderbolt card for the SQ series.
Dante though nice for large systems that need extensive routing does not provide the low latency modern recording systems require with today’s DAW’s.
USB is way past its prime and can’t provide real-time monitoring with on board plugins from a DAW.
Please examine this very real need from many of your current and future customers.
I can only dream of incorporating my SQ6 and Reaper over Thunderbolt 3 or 4 and the productive workflow along with the sonic excellence we users would experience.

The Market for Thunderbolt is smaller than Dante??????
Do you have any idea how many current systems on the market now come with Thunderbolt 3. It’s a hell of a lot more than all the Dante cards in service.
I used to own a pcie Dante card, and although the routing capabilities are outstanding it’s latency was slower than my RME madi card which has outstanding low latency performance. My Presounus Quantum 2626 also has outstanding low latency performance over thunderbolt 3. I also use a UAD Apollo Solo over thunderbolt 3 and although not quite a fast as the Presonus it’s quite good.
Anyway I was trying to point out that there’s a large and soon to be huge market for interfaces offering Thunderbolt 3 and it’s generally a different market from Dante and Madi. Think home studios.

Thinking about getting a SQ6 but have a connection question.
I run my Keyboard setup using virtual instruments under Reaper. I use an RME MADI card that goes out to the MADI card on my Midas M32.
This works great as I don’t have to go thru any converters till the mains out.
Since there is no MADI interface for the SQ series I’m trying to figure out how to get my MADI output into the SQ mixer.
One idea I have come up with if it’s doable is use a Motu M64USB/AVB with MADI to convert the MADI output to USB.
Are the USB drivers on the SQ6 class compliant?
Has anyone tried this to see if it works?

Thanks.
