Yes it is MOTU, but notice... no windows drivers for those units yet. They actually just came out with 24 input units and 24 output units that even look fairly install friendly. Definitely a different direction for MOTU. But they need to get an AVB virtual sound card for Window. It's built into the Mac OS now.
Dante on the other hand is cross platform right now, it is established and if you look at what's happening at trade shows, it's the bandwagon that almost everyone is jumping onto.
Dante should be compatible with AVB, when the AVB group ever gets their act together. AVB is also a much bigger nut to crack because they are trying to tackle video and audio. And if you think the audio side is moving slow, the video side is moving even slower.
If I was opening my wallet to buy right now I wouldn't spend money on AVB, but I would on Dante.
