Going to be on the road a bit soon. Was originally intending to take an old Audio 8 DJ card but it's a pain because all the inputs are phono because it's really for a DJ setup. When I checked out the laptop tonight (It's a PC running Windows 7) I can see an S400 port. Can I run a 6 > 4 pin firewire cable into this from the Fireface? What kind of loss in speed/latency will there be? Will this work? Cheers all
You can use this connection without any problems in principle (if the FW chipset behind it works ok). "Speed" is not an issue, neither is latency.

Thanks for that. As it happens I just copped a 2011 Macbook from work today so I'm giving that a go tonight instead. Now I can see I can connect up via FW800 which is great but I can see it also has the thunderbolt. So I'm wondering is it better to stick with the 800 connection or shell out for the thunderbolt/firewire adapter. Which is more stable/quicker/less latency etc..*in practice* rather than in theory ;-) ?
Many thanks
No difference, it's still FW even if you use the TB adapter.
