Topic: FireFace 400 on a 2018 MacBook Pro 15" working great

Hey RME-guys,

Just wanted to say how stoked I am to be connecting my old FireFace 400 through Thunderbolt 3 -> Thunderbolt 2 -> Firewire 800 -> Firewire 400 on a 2018 laptop and have it playing almost perfectly.

Bus power doesn't work and I had to change a few power supplies to get one that fits well but now it's working great.

Considering how old the FireFace 400 is in the world of computing that's pretty amazing!

Thank you!

(I will be taking this on the road tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed!)

Playback is good but what about recording?  Which OSX are you on?  Thanks!
