          RME Fireface 400 vs RME Fireface UC - User Opinions

            Whereas the 400 has a second Firewire socket for daisy‑chaining multiple units, here there's only a single USB socket. It is, however, possible to attach up to three Fireface UCs to a single computer if you have enough free USB ports. The UC comes with all of RME's sophisticated and mature software utilities.
