[LAU] [ffado] Recommend FireWire Hardware from the Following

It's that question again, and it's here for you to answer and gain cookie points! Here's my array of the chosen ones: ECHO AudioFire 4 [[ http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/FireWire/AudioFire4/index.php ]] Edirol FA-66 [[ http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=731&Paren… ESI QuataFire 610 [[ http://www.esi-audio.com/products/quatafire610/ ]] Focusrite Saffire [[ http://www.focusrite.com/products/saffire/saffire/ ]] That was narrowed down from [[ http://ffado.org/?q=devicesupport%2Flist&filter0=&filter1=&op2=…%5B%5D=perfect]]. All these satisfy my need for mobility and at least 2 DI and MIC inputs. bucks apart. * All except the Focusrite are hybrid inputs, so it has the upper hand there. * Only the Focusrite has onboard DSP effects, BUT unsupported on Linux (ffado) * Only the ESI officially mentions support for Linux So here's the homework for you guys: Reorder the list in decreasing order of merit. Conditions include (in order of decreasing importance): * Preamp Quality * Linux Support Extent * Beauty * Portability If that one's too tough, then just pick 1 (or 2/3 depending on which of those you have firsthand experience with) =p Thanks and good luck!
