Re: ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501? Thoughts?

Just out of curiosity, is anybody running one of these with Ableton, and if so, thoughts and observations? Studio only, or playing out live with it as well? Seeing that it's almost $1000 less than a similiar Macbook pro, and fits my budget ... ( I'm NOT interested in a Mac vs PC discussion, I've go...

Re: Mini Display Port to Audio Interface 96k/24 - does it exist?

Not that I've seen. However, you can go mDP -> HDMI -> something like this: http://www.miniinthebox.com/hd1080p-hdmi-input-to-hdmi-audio-decoder-with-audio-edid-setting-converter-box-adapter-5-1digital-decorder-spdif-3-5_p1765452.html That box plus the cable would be under $100, which is pretty OK....
