I use a yamaha 01v digital mixer with ADAT card, and a hammerfall, but
FWIW if I were replacing my studio today I would probably do without the
mixer and just use decent outboard ADAT converters and a ADAT PCI card.
I'd use a smaller analogue mixer for when I needed outboard downmixing.

Digital mixers are a bit pricey considering how often I mostly use mine as
a AD/DA converter. You can do more sophisiticated routing with 1 or 2 ADAT
AD/DA converters and JACK with some apps.
