Hi Paul, thanks for answering. Yes, indeed I have a reason to not use a
PCI-based card. My idea is to set up the interface in a portable 19'' rack,
in order to connect it to a laptop, and then make some recordings in the
practice (out of the home studio).
Regards,
Agus Terol

Hello, I am thinking in set up a home studio for
recording and mixing
based on Linux. I have in mind to buy a Focusrite Saffire PRO 40, but
first, I would like to know the experience of someone who has already used
it.
I've taken a look at
http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list but I
don't have clear if this device can be used at 96kHz, because currently
it's marked as "experimental". I know other Saffire have "full
support",
but nowadays are discontinued. Does anybody used it for hours (and days) at
this frequency?
Also, I would be interested in experiences with similar interfaces that
also work fine in linux.
If you're building a *home studio*, is there some reason NOT to use a
PCI-based card, rather than something that has to connect via an external
port (firewire, USB, etc) ?
