I just looked at the 26 pro specs yesterday. It looks like the
M-Audio unit has more input connectors. The 26 pro only has 8 inputs
that aren't ADAT or S/PDIF, right?
My read has them equal in I/O: 8 analog with pre's, 2 via SPDIF, and 16
via 2 ADAT optical. Adds up to 26. The M-Audio unit mentioned that only
18 were supported under pro-tools. I have no idea if a similar limitation
will be present in the Linux driver if/when it appears. (Might be due to
limited bandwidth in ADAT, if I remember correctly, it can only carry 4
channels at some higher sample rates). Variation seems to be in
flexibility of standalone mixer capability via onboard DSP.
