What device did you find? I have yet to see a shipping device with
streams...
I don't know about streams, I'm hoping that having a uasp device means it will
also use streams. So far I've been unable to get my hands on anything doing uasp,
but it seems the tide is turning and now I've found multiple. Now lets hope that:
1) They really support uasp 2) they use streams (not sure if that is optional
or mandatory with uasp).
This is the one I've ordered:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker%C2%AE-Uspeed-Enclosure-2-5-Inch-Support/dp/B005B5NLZ0/
Correction, this one just arrived today and it despite its product
description claiming it does, it does *not* support uasp.
This one also looks nice, and plugable is known to be a Linux friendly company,
and they should be available in the US:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-Lay-Flat-Docking-Station-ASM1053E/dp/B00D399JU2
I've ordered this one now ...
I just ordered that one as well, and it looks like it doesn't have UAS
exposed, even though the descriptors mention it:

Mine arrived yesterday and it does have UAS support (as alternate
setting 1 for interface 0) in its descriptors, without needing any special
commands.
On a hunch I tried to reproduce your experience with my plugable dock,
and if I turn it on without a harddisk in there it does not advertise
uasp either, so likely it only advertises uasp if the harddisk is
tcq capable (or some such), and without a harddisk it cannot determine
that ...
I wrote a small libusb program to get the super speed endpoint companion
descriptors, and it can do up to 4 bulk streams on the uas data endpoints,
so it seems like a perfect device to test uasp and bulk streams with.
BTW we really ought to extend lsusb to list the number of streams an
endpoint can handle in the endpoint info it prints with -v.
I can load the Linux uas driver, after which I hit:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51031
So I'm happy to hear you've one too, I hope it will do uasp once you
insert a harddisk, because then hopefully you can fix that bug :)
If inserting a harddisk fails, ASMedia controllers have upgradable firmware inside
them, so the first thing to try and get uasp working on your model is to try
the firmware upgrade:
http://plugable.com/2013/04/22/usb3-sata-uasp1-sleep-and-large-volume-firmware-update
Note I did not need to do this, but judging from the descriptors you do seem to have
slightly different firmware, yours has a manufacturer string of "ASM1053E", where
as mine has a manufacturer string of "Plugable". I've attached my full descriptors
(from when a harddisk is inserted into the dock).
If that does not work I guess you should contact plugable about this, as
said before various people in the FOSS community have good experience with them,
they are quite FOSS / Linux friendly.
