Ok clears things up a bit there.
Hmm not on the multiface so much, but concidering your setup the digiface
would likely be a better choice. At any rate the interface cards...

Difference being PCI vs PCI-E
And the Digiface interface, which sounds like it would be a better choice
than the Multiface for what you are looking for, as you are aiming for
external pres and converters...

The Digiface will do 12 channels of ADAT at 24/96 or 24 Channels at
24/48-24/44.1 if memory serves on a single unit.
Interesting while there I noticed RME had a new card out that, the Ray-DAT.
Random things. Don't know if it is supported in Linux or not, it likely
might be without much work, but sometimes it is better not to risk it.
Yes, depending on the circumstance the Pres I used had AD/DA built in, or I
ran them through some. In as far as your situation, I gotta be honest and
admit I like the Apogee stuff for the AD/DA situation, and it might make a
good pair with those TL-Audio pres, though I haven't used the TL-Audio pres
to comment on them myself.
Hmm I did notice the reccomendation for the 15K SCSI hard drives. I am not
sure I agree with that particular reccomendation over a RAID array with
two(Or twice as many) 7200 Hard Drives myself. Last I heard them those
15ks, and even the 10ks were pretty loud. Personal preference there, but
something to keep in mind depending on where your drives are located.

Did you mean the RME HDSP 9632? Or the 9652?
Oh, yeah, I meant RME HDSP9652. Sorry.
I don't understand why you
would run a Multiface into it though, since the multiface is designed to
connect to a different RME interface card natively.
Which card?
I've to say, the aim is to get 16 or 24 tracks, don't know if the
dedicated card and then the ADAT links let this be?
I run/ran a 9632
myself, and ran via ADAT some mic pres into it and was happy with that.
Get
some good quality pres, even the RME OctoPre is
an option if you want to
stick with them.
As we use the TL-Audios preamp, s we don't want the Octopre options.
There something I can't figure out in what you say: how do you run your
pre(amp?)s with ADAT? If so, they have to have ADC, don't they?
TL-Audios don't, and I prefer to have good ADCs (dedicated).
