[LAU] What 16chan sound card

[Gerald Mwangi]

Hi guys,
I want to buy a usb sound card with the following specs:
16 input channels :
    at least 8 Mic ins, 
    the rest line ins, intrument ins or ADAT ins (optical)
    no spdif

output channels:
    8 would be nice but not a must

price: 300-350 €

I have these on my list:
http://www.thomann.de/de/256918tascam_us1800.htm (has no ADAT, but only
spdif)

http://www.thomann.de/de/phonic_firefly_808_retour.htm (unkown
manufacturer, at least to me)

Can someone tell how good these do with jack/linux,or maybe show another
option.
Thanx, 
Gerald
