My Dante transition costs:
Focusrite Rednet PCIe card: 800 used off Reverb (I got lucky here…normally 1079 at Sweetwater new) If you want the RME USB solution it will cost 1499 as John mentioned above.
Focusrite Rednet AM2 Monitor / Headphone box: 300 used off Reverb (439 at Sweetwater new)
H9000 Dante expansion: 999 at Sweetwater as John quoted above
2x Audinate AES / EBU Dante I/O: 140 each off Ebay (144 at Sweetwater new)
Cisco SG 350 10P Network switch: 200 off Ebay new direct from Cisco (449 at Sweetwater new)
For my second Headphone amp I am using an SMSL M3 DAC / AMP connected via Audinate AES: 84 from Apos audio
Total for setup: $2663 (3338 if all components purchased new) Less than a new RME Thunderbolt UFX (2799) (if you don’t count the cost of the H9000 lol), but more than the USB only version (2299). I already have external mic pres / DI / compressors.
