</div>Which card?<br>
I've to say, the aim is to get 16 or 24 tracks, don't know if the<br>
dedicated card and then the ADAT links let this be?<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"></div></blockquote><div><br>Hmm not on the multiface so much, but concidering your setup the digiface would likely be a better choice. At any rate the interface cards...<br><br><a href="http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdsp_pci_interface.php">http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdsp_pci_interface.php</a><br>

Difference being PCI vs PCI-E<br><br>And the Digiface interface, which sounds like it would be a better choice than the Multiface for what you are looking for, as you are aiming for external pres and converters...<br><br>
<a href="http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_digiface.php#3">http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_digiface.php#3</a><br><br>The Digiface will do 12 channels of ADAT at 24/96 or 24 Channels at 24/48-24/44.1 if memory serves on a single unit.<br>
<br>Interesting while there I noticed RME had a new card out that, the Ray-DAT. Random things. Don't know if it is supported in Linux or not, it likely might be without much work, but sometimes it is better not to risk it.<br>

</div>As we use the TL-Audios preamp, s we don't want the Octopre options.<br>
There something I can't figure out in what you say: how do you run your<br>
pre(amp?)s with ADAT? If so, they have to have ADC, don't they?<br>
TL-Audios don't, and I prefer to have good ADCs (dedicated).<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"></div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, depending on the circumstance the Pres I used had AD/DA built in, or I ran them through some. In as far as your situation, I gotta be honest and admit I like the Apogee stuff for the AD/DA situation, and it might make a good pair with those TL-Audio pres, though I haven't used the TL-Audio pres to comment on them myself.<br>
<br>Hmm I did notice the reccomendation for the 15K SCSI hard drives. I am not sure I agree with that particular reccomendation over a RAID array with two(Or twice as many) 7200 Hard Drives myself. Last I heard them those 15ks, and even the 10ks were pretty loud. Personal preference there, but something to keep in mind depending on where your drives are located.<br>
