I'm in the need of a simple interface with MIDI :
U-PHORIA UMC204HD
Audiophile 2x4, 24-Bit/192 kHz USB Audio/MIDI Interface with MIDAS Mic Preamplifiers

Clint .. I think Craig has the best answer to your interface options.. Do keep in mind though that A upgrade to A Thunderbolt is A... motherboard memory and processor...away ! Ive been using Universal Audio apollo twin with a few extra plugins... tracking is beyond words.. as for my personal system . I have always been using top custom builds .. and this time its to die for ! some good reading although im A Asus fan : https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z390-DESIGNARE-rev-10#kf

FWIW, With Thunderbolt-3 under Windows 10, you've just got to be aware of all the details (leave nothing to chance).
- You've got to have a motherboard with integrated Thunderbolt-3 controller... or one that specifically supports a Thunderbolt-3 controller AIC (add-in-card).
- You've got to be running Win10
- Your audio interface needs drivers that support "PCIe via Thunderbolt"
- Most Thunderbolt audio interfaces are Thunderbolt-2, so you'll need a Thunderbolt-3 to Thunderbolt-2 adapter
We've used motherboards from both Asus and Gigabyte... as well as custom laptop shells from Clevo.
In all cases, whether the Thunderbolt-3 controller was integrated or AIC, performance was 100% reliable.
Presonus recommends the StarTech Thunderbolt-3 to Thunderbolt-2 adapter.
We've tested the Apple TB3>TB2 adapter under many different configurations (desktop and laptop)... and it's always worked fine.
I moved from an Apollo-8 Quad/Satellite Quad setup... to Quantum... because it yields incredibly low round-trip latency.
It's a gas to run Helix Native with 1ms total round-trip latency. I believe the hardware Helix has ~2ms round-trip latency.
A note about USB-C audio interfaces:
Though the units connect via USB-C port, all the models I've seen thus far are actually USB-2 (not USB-3.1 as you might expect).

Clint : I don't know what motherboard you have but I can tell you this ..Thunderbolt is the way to go .. Im never looking back : https://www.uaudio.com/
They also have firewire and usb .. but TB is clearly the winner !

Hello staff : I see there are many options I have no need for like social media sharing and the ability to send other people projects , enlighten me as to the security level of peoples personal music and data .. on your servers ! furthermore from what I see BandLabs is going in A different direction then most Top Studios.. If data transfer is required its to be done on a banking level secure server accountable .. So I would like to know.. What your are trying to create ? Jon...

Wile were talking Thunderbolt Cards /Motherboards : Im running A Asus z370a motherboard.. I originally purchased the Asus EX3 thunderbolt card and after a little fiddling got it up and running.. but I had read that the Gigabyte thunderbolt card was easy to install and offered more features ..so I orderd one
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-ALPINE-RIDGE-rev-20#ov
the connectors are much better and the unit came with cables to hook up to asus gigabyte and asrock motherboards .. this unit is rock solid ..1 driver ..there is also : https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-TITAN-RIDGE-rev-10#kf
Titan ridge offering even more features !.. I would seem that Universal Audio is onboard with Gigabytes and supporting them : this board came up as a Has It All Board ! https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z390-DESIGNARE-rev-10#kf
Note As Jim said if your running a thunderbolt ll interface ..as I am you need a converter : https://www.startech.com/ca/Cables/thunderbolt-3-cables/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-thunderbolt-adapter~TBT3TBTADAP I payed 85.00 cad for mine !
