Luis,
   Be aware that 88K/96K operation is not supported by all devices that
have ADAT interfaces. RME supports it, at least on some devices, but
many/most audio interfaces do not and just shut off the ADAT interfaces
when operating atthose sampling rates. My main Pro Tools bos is that
way.

   Read the specs and owner's amnual carefully before buying if 96K
lightpipe operation is important to you.

Have fun,
Mark
