Notes & Compatibility
Buy a cable labeled 'data cable' or 'sync + charge' — charge-only USB-C cables have no data wires and will not work. Cable Matters, Anker, and StarTech all make reliable USB-C to USB-B cables. Standard USB 2.0 bandwidth is more than sufficient for any audio interface at any sample rate.
