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) ?
