Located a very old DAC that only works with FireWire. What adapter or cable should I use to link my PC (likely via USB-c or USB-a) to the FireWire port? I'm using an MSI X670E Meg Ace motherboard with 7950x3d and RTX4090. Thanks.

If the USB adapter fails, considering a Firewire card might be a good option. Does your DAC require Firewire 400 or Firewire 800?
