I forgot that the ADAT optical limitations meant you would end up short of channels at 192k. I guess to get 24 inputs you would have to get two of the RMEs which AFAIR is possible, and two external mic pres like a presonus eureka or one Mackie Onyx 8s > So, yeah. > seems to me that MOTU is the only game in town (besides Digi) for 24ch > 192k.. Well... No I guess it is not the *only* game...
