RE: Is firewire still better than usb for audio ?

Firewire is slowly being replaced by Thunderbolt which is backwards compatible by means of a cheap adaptor cable.

Personally I never had any issues with even the original Firewire 400 streaming 12 channels bidirectionally (ie record and replay simultaneously) at 24/96. That's 24 channels via one cable.
USB on the other hand has so far been a complete nightmare since unlike FW it was not originally designed for continuous streaming.
