Topic: MADI channels with UFX+ on USB2

Hello everyone! I'm running my UFX+ on a MacBook Pro 2012 which only has USB2 ports.
So, as written on the manual, my DAW only detects analog inputs, AES and ADAT1&2 digital inputs, but no MADI.
Is there a way like a software workaround (like loopback) that enables me to record MADI inputs in my DAW?
I'd love to select which groups of inputs can be activated and detected by the system: I only need MADI inputs and DuRec when recording live concerts, so I could disable all the rest and use the bandwidth of my USB2 entirely for MADI channels.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Kind regards.

No, it's a 2012 MBP, it just has USB2 (and FW800) ports...
