Thunderbolt 3 add in card for X299 motherboard - HALP PLS

Hello there!

I'm building a new workstation PC for audio production and I need a Thunderbolt 3 port for my audio interface. I was thinking of doing a Threadripper build but as I later found out it doesn't support Thunderbolt... So i9 it is I guess.

I can't find any add-in cards for a X299 motherboard, do they even exist? The only one I could find was the ASUS one but it says that it only supports the X99 board and not the X299.

Help me, please.
