Looking mainly at focusrite but will look at others. I want high channel count
possibilities. 8+ preferably 24+ down the road.

Hello Drew,
Happy user of a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Works like a charm and
recently a lot of work has been done on getting the mixer part to
fully work also. Haven't tried that out yet but support is almost as
complete as it was for the good ol' Saffire Pro 10 IO.
Thanks for the report. What distro/version of things are you running?
OOTB? Custom compiles?
It is interesting that the ffado site reports:
Manufacturer:
Focusrite
Device Info on Vendor Site:
http://www.focusrite.com/products/saffire/saffire_pro_40/
Support Status:
Experimental
Support Contact(s):
ppalmers
This device is NOT supported in 2.0. It will be included in the 2.x
release that introduces DICE support. This will most likely be version
2.1.
For the Liquid Saffire 56 it reports:
Manufacturer:
Focusrite
Support Status:
Reported to work
Support Contact(s):

Best,
Jeremy
