and what card would that be?

ADAT can do 48KHz, 96KHz and 192KHz. Nobody will use 44.1KHz for
pro-audio, so that wouldn't cause an issue.

the usual ralph misinformation. does it ever stop?

ADAT supports 44.1kHz and 48kHz as-is. With the S-Mux "standard", it can route 88.2kHz and 96kHz signals, but each channel is split across two ADAT channels, causing a 50% reduction in the number of available channels.
