This is correct. The multiface can do 8 i/o at 96k with the internal
converters plus an additional 4 (via smux adat) at 96k. At lower
sample rates it will do 8 channels on the ADAT ports. The SPDIF adds
another 2 channels of digital i/o (not sure if that goes up
to 96k or not... i guess it does by the advertising).
