Need good Adat and W/Clock PCI sound-card (wanna buy a del..

It's awfully hard to find a card with 16 ADAT I/O, and I wish I knew
why. But the only ones I know of are the Frontier Design Dakota and the
RME Hammerfall. I believe the older version is the DIGI 9652, while the
most recent design is the HDSP 9652. Neither comes with analog I/O
AFAIK. If you come across another card that has 16 ADAT I/O at a better
price please let me know, as I'm looking for one.

If you can settle for 8 channels ADAT I/O, the Emu 1212m is a nice card
(according to others) and does include analog I/O. I have no experience
with it myself.

I have the RME HDSP9652 and it seems to co-exist
with a Echo Mia for the analog I/O. You can add
the analog I/O to the RME cards. Ther AEB4i will
add 4 balanced ins and AEB4o adds 4 balanced out.
(There's also 8 channel unbalanced versions for
in and out)

There may be some driver issues with the new EMU
cards so you might want to try one on approval to
see if it has the driver capability you expect.

Hi,

You might want to have a look at Marian products, the Marc X is 8 ADAT +
2 balanced analog in/outs+ 2 SPDIF in/out + Wordclock + hardware
mixer with 0-latency monitoring, and can be synchronized with up to 3
Marc A to reach 32 ADAT I/O. Those are cheap and reliable.

Of course this means using 2 PCI slots ; for a single card solution I'd
go for RME - Hammerfall DSP 9652.
