The Mac Pro’s biggest problem is the MacBook

You can do MADI and Dante over thunderbolt or ethernet, and with the amount of compute UAD DSP days are definitely numbered (as shown by UA themselves now offering native). I don't see audio as a driver, given what I can do as a composer/producer on my laptop (m1pro)

For sure — the convergence towards Ethernet based AV protocols (esp. in broadcast) seems like it has a promising future (as we’ve seen with Dante), possibly for video too (SMPTE 2110, etc).

But we’re not quite there yet.

I'm not sure how you'd replace a decklink card with ethernet. The bandwidth just isn't there. Same issue with the TB ports, there's not nearly enough bandwidth for pro AV.
