Hello,

I am wondering what are the possibilities of HQ audio with a large channel-count in Linux?
 

 What is the way to go for more than 64 output channels @ 96k
plus some input channels?

Several RME HDSPe PCIexpress driven together with Alsa and Jack?
One RME MadiFX card?

 

Any experience here?

Is it possible to run different channels with a different sample-rate?

Would external clocking be possible, too?

On a laptop there is no way to archive this? For example with a Sonnet Thunderbolt to external PCI adaptor? Thunderbold is not supported by Linux, is it?

There is no solution with the standart ethernet-port at this high sample rate?

Motu AVB is limited to 48k as class compilant USB?

 

 

I'd be happy about any answer *

Bests, Manuel
