Seems like a lot of music industry folks feel Firewire is superior to USB. Are there any Firewire to BNC devices out there just like the M2Tech hiFace which is USB to BNC?
Are there audiophile grade Firewire to BNC units like the USB to BNC hiFace?

Firewire has better bandwidth, which is only useful for multiple channels going each way. This is why you see a lot of digital 'stations' (multiple channels in and out) with Firewire instead of USB, not because of better quality. USB, properly implemented, is just as good if you're only looking for 2-6 channel outputs.
For an example, the cheapest two are still recording stations, but are the M-Audio Firewire Solo and TC Electronic Desktop Konnekt 6, both clocking in at $199 or more.
