the Digiface does 24 @ 48K, and I presume 12 @ 96K, if you bring your own

Oops, just for the record, maybe I was mistaken about the Multiface,
after re-reading this:
HOWTO: Using the Hammerfall HDSP on Linux

"The Multiface offers eight channels of analog I/O and digital SPDIF,
as well as ADAT in and out for a total of 20 channels of 24bit/96kHz
audio. The Digiface offers three ADAT in and outs and SPDIF for a
total of 26 channels."
So maybe the Multiface can do eight 24/96 channels using the internal
A/D+D/A *plus* four more 24/96 channels using the ADAT ports to/from
a double-speed external convertor such as the ADI-8DS:

However, there is only one ADAT in and out on the Mutliface, unlike
the Digiface's three ins and three outs, so I'm confused as to how
Peter came up with 20 x 24/96.
Hmm?
