Compatible firewire card?

[NickMrg]

Hey guys!

I'm planning to buy a new firewire audio interface, probably Motu 828 MK3, and i wanted to plug it in via firewire. The problem is that my motherboard (Z87X-UD3H) doesn't have firewire port. What do you suggest me to do? I have already read about StarTech (too expensive) and for Syba, have you tried any of these? I need a card that works 100% without problems. StarTech worths its money? I 'm looking forward to listen to your advices...

It's expensive but if it works oob without problems maybe worths the money. Thanks anyway!

It is also one of the two suggested by Uaudio for using with Apollo, though there still seems to be a problem using it in a hackintosh environment.
