Topic: Best USB-C Hub für M2 MacBook and UFX+?

I got my MacBook Pro M2 last week - a Beauty AND a Beast!

Installation under Ventura worked well and Logic gave me pretty good latency (3,6ms Roundtrip @44.1).
But the Usb-C Hub I purchased was kinda crappy - it lost connection all the time:

Has anyone a tip for a reliable USB-C Hub?

Or should I get something like this:

Frequently in use:
Fireface UFX+, Fireface 800 (as a AD/DA-Converter) and an old RME Sweater... ;-)

Re: Best USB-C Hub für M2 MacBook and UFX+?

As I wanted to ask something along those lines, let me join please:

I just got a Mini M2 Pro 12core with a DigifaceUSB - and it's working fine on a cheap, passive Sabrent hub:

Generally, if there's no power-shortage for the buspowered digiface, will there be any drawbacks instead of connecting it directly to the mac? System Report says the digifaceUSB requires 224mA.

I want to use the USB-A ports for the digifaceUSB, as all 4 usb4/TB ports on the Mini are used for displays & NVMes right now and the hubs are still really expensive for a speedy connection, which doesn't seem to be necessary for the digiface.

thanks!
