Thank you for your answers and suggestions.

BTW, Jeremy, I've been taking a look at the Saffire 40 user manual, and I have a doubt. When phantom power is turned on (for example, at 5-8 inputs), does this affect to input lines in the same segment (5-8)? I mean, it has a connector XLR/TRS combo, so, I wonder if the +48V only affects the XLR plug, or it will also power the TRS connection (that could damage some line-level stuff connected at TRS). Well, I think this question is more or less applicable to those interfaces with this kind of input combos.

Agus Terol

If you decide to go with a rack-mounted PC with internal slots things like
this become an option.

I totally understand this isn't useful with an existing laptop.

Hello Agus,

I can confirm the Saffire Pro 40 works at 96Khz. I barely use this
sample rate though so I can't tell if it will run for hours or even
days. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. I can use my Saffire Pro
40 for hours at 48Khz without any hitch. I've occasionally forgot to
switch the set-up off and the next day everything was still running fine.

Best,

Jeremy
