Hmm not on the multiface so much, but concidering your setup the digiface

But digiface doesn't have conerters?
I think my poor English has lead me to be misunderstood.
We don't want converters external to the HDSP, we just want the preamps
to jus be preamps and no converters (as to remind, the preamps should be
TL-Audio Ivory II serie).
By the way it looks we can use till 3 Multiface with Linux, so the
dedicated card + 3 multiface is a quite nice solution.
The question was also about the choice between Multiface (x3) and an
Alesis HD24XR. They have the same converters, but the clock, the jitter,
etc. aren't the same. It looks like the RME are better, but the HD24XR
seems to suffer from the HD24's reputation.
I don't know what the best between those two solutions, indeed, and if
someone has tried the HD24XR (eventually linked with ADAT to an
HDSP9652), I'd be glad to read his feelings.

Ok clears things up a bit there.
OK, well.
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?

Difference being PCI vs PCI-E
OK, thanks.
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...
No, no, just external pres.

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.
Yeah, that can be a problem, indeed. As it's gonna be a mobile studio,
there are many configuration that shall exist. but anyway, I think we
always prefer have the DSP/PC/sound ingeneer/loud machines in another
room. So, I think we can take a bit loud hard drive (I suppose it's not
something untolerable).
