I only found dealers selling the Babyface Pro. Indeed, the manual
claims that there should be no issues with an iPad, but the card is too
expensive. Btw. just because there are claims about compatibility, this
isn't necessarily true. My AIO should work with Linux, too, but
actually only 2 ADAT channels are available by jack. The manual didn't
mention with what version of iOS the Babyface Pro does work. Anyway, if
it wouldn't be that expensive, I would order and test it.
