As longtime professional RME user who has recently bought a madiface xt (which is an awesome product as one has come to expect from RME) I cannot help but wonder about the problems I'm running into when trying to buy a hardware remote control for the unit.

Production of the ARC is discontinued without any units left in stock and ARC USB which should come this summer will be for UFX+ only. While the ARC is still listed as regular product on RMEs web page I just thought I should share this here since I myself was heavily relying on the ARC being available when buying the Madiface XT. It's not available anymore.

I'm guessing a lot of people run remote through the app solutions on ipad etc. but that might not be the appropriate way in a lot of setups, which probably was the reason to produce a hardware remote in the first place.

Maybe there just haven't been enough people looking for such a solution and I'm sure there are other good and solid reasons, in my position now of course it's just bad luck and a somewhat unexpected product strategy in the 'premium' line, too.

Someone with an ARC on sale?
