Wow!
I just bought one; the original.
Think there might be an upgrade path?

that looks really nice,
but why not usb 3?

The unit is nowhere even close to saturating the bandwidth of USB2.
The extra bandwidth wouldn't buy any additional performance.
 
The Babyface is USB3 compatible.

downward compatability seems so much simpler,
than NOT having upwards compatability.
 
 
maybe bandwidth isn't an issue now.
but a year from now?
 
no one seems to know,
why not make it usb3?
 
still haven't heard a good argument against it...

It's cost vs. return
If no performance is to be gained, RME has little incentive to spend the time/resources to make the Babyface USB3.

Well whatdayaknow.... My resistance to the original was 2 ins so 4 +ADAT or S/PDIF makes me more interested. I wonder what they'll go for?

Only in case the number of inputs/outputs will magically increase within the year or they start support 64bit/1MHz sample rates...
 
But in case the specification in your signature is still correct, USB2 bandwidth is not the bottleneck

The midi port is still a breakout cable according to the description, though each of the headphone jacks 1/4"TRS and an 1/8th" one, each have their own amplifier. The volume control for them? in software or perhaps multi-function buttons on top?

so, there's that.
