How about the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20? I own one, it provides 18 input
and 20 output channels for less than USD 1000.00, including an
additional required ADAT deviceand and S/PDIF device.
It works OTTB with Linux.
Sure, the audio quality of the I/Os of this Focusrite setup can't hold a
candle to the audio quality of my RME gear, which provides less I/Os by
a completely different price range. However, do you think you could
build professional audio quality circuits at home, by less costs, than a
vendor such as RME could build, by a larger scale production, than you
do at home?
