4 channels on thunderbolt is really a waste. Also the gimmickry of the website does not instill much trust in the quality of the device. No mention of the preamp/converter quality or specs, only a misleading claim that thunderbolt is "faster." I believe MOTU and Apogee are also delving into the thunderbolt arena also. RME's USB3 box can handle more I/O than just about anyone could ever use and it is more universal with great drivers.
