To add more confusion, and try to clear it up...

The Hammerfall series (Non-HDSP) does not have the DSP mixer.  I believe it came in 9632 and 9652 flavors.
The Hammerfall HDSP series comes in both HDSP 9632 and 9656 series, has an onboard DSP mixer for low latency monitoring.  They are both very good cards for Linux audio IMO.  I have the HDSP 9632 myself, and enjoyed it till my workstation died.  Currently all my work is done on my MacBook Pro unfortuanatly.

The difference between the 9632 and 9656 I believe comes down to two things, less overall I/O on the 9636, but it contains some analog I/O in its base version the 9652 does not if memory serves.

No the Hammerfall 9652/36 series is the older, less expensive version
that doesn't have the onboard mixer. The HDSP 9652/36 is the newer
design the Wolfgang is selling.

They are both great card families.
