My Microlite works fine on USB3 sockets on PC (Windows 8.1) and Mac (Sierra).

elsongs,
 
Were you able to connect the Micro Lite to USB 3.0 or were you limited to using USB 2.0?
 
Just curious.




I ended up plugging it into a 2.0 jack on my tower PC just to be on the safe side. I still have a few free 3.0 and 2.0 jacks anyway so it really didn't matter. 
 
I also have a Mac Book Pro that only has 3.0, but I'm most likely not going to use the Microlite with it (I only really use plugins via Mainstage or Reason on it anyway).
 
I have 3 DAWs, but Sonar is the most hardware-friendly so this is the one I use when sequencing/recording my hardware synths, hence the need for the interface.

Hmmmmm...RME Babyface Pro about the same price but had two headphone outs and Midi IO. Not half rack though..... 
Is the 624 superior in some way?

The 624 has some features for my intention to see if it's a good fit for portable live use yet give me the tracks to later with with in SPLAT.

Seems like the same spot as the Babyface is aiming to hit. I believe that the RME does not need a power source for the USB 2 connection. No Thunderbolt however. Still wondering about the 624 advsntages though.

MOTU 624 is audio only.  This thread is about MIDI interface.
