Reply to Where are all the thunderbolt soundcards?

for something that is supposed to have such amazing speed, why are we not seeing any external portable thunderbolt sound cards?

yes I know about the UA Apollo, but that's not portable and it's also extremely expensive. I was hoping by now that Apogee would announce something to replace the Duet2. I have only 2 USB ports on my Retina Macbook, but 2 thunderbolt ports (that never get used). Running everything through USB hubs is sketchy for me, especially in a live situation.

What else could thunderbolt ports be used for that's practical besides a secondary display or external storage?

I'm just afraid this damn port is going to end up like Firewire did in 3 years time
