OK, I understand the money thing. I was more curious about whether
you'd buy one if you were rich. My concern is that some day I might
not be able to get a motherboard with two PCI slots for my two
M-Audio Delta 1010s. At that point I'll need to go with something
else, and then firewire must be considered. I need high channel
count inputs - my drumkit really needs 12 mics ;-)
I'd also have to get an ADAT i/o converter of some sort to get to my
desired channel count. Do you know if multiple firewire devices will
sync with each other?
It seems that
you like your pro26. Would you buy another one?
i can't (this one cost me my soul). but if i were ever granted a spare
soul, i might. What are you
using to drive the ADAT channels? Could you let us know
what versions of distribution, kernel, and ffado you are using?
when i'm in need of extra analog i/o, i hook up a (gasp!) behringer ada
8000. definitely not the nicest of converters, but does the job (unless
you need decent mic preamps). my current kernel is (alternating) a .24-rt-something
and a .27.
i follow ffado's 2.0 svn branch, jack is also from svn, but the latest
releases should be ok.
I'm running jack 0.116.1 and haven't branched out (no SVN pun) into
firewire yet.
Thanks....
