Topic: SRC for Fireface UCX II like ADI-2 Pro possible

I really like the new Fireface UCX II from the spec point of view and I will definitely exchange my Fireface UC with it.

What I still miss is the sampling rate conversion for input consumer S/PDIF like the ADI-2 Pro (FS). I have only low requirements 48kHz to 44.1kHz. And yes, I understand that this idea is in gerneral not the best and I could go on with DA/AD conversion as weill ;-)

Will there be any chance some day to povide such function via update for the Fireface UCX?
Why is this feature so "expensive" that I cannot find it in any product from RME for a reasonable price (>1500€ is really a lot for non professionals). It would be pretty nice no have such function in your affortable product price range - if possbile.

Thank you.

Sascha

SRC is currently (global chip crisis) indeed expensive, and chips for it hard to get. Additionally demand on the former UCX was near zero, so we had no reason to implement something that would make the unit more expensive for everyone.
