Yes, there is demand for it, but IIRC, Echo have never given out the necessary programming information. Andrew.

If you dont need optical or adat. An Maudio Delta 1010 can be had for ~$600us, in fact I got a demo from Mars for $499, because they did not have the m$ based sw that came with it, darn ;-) It has everything the Layla has except optical, and Adat i/o. Or for ~$800 you can get an RME H-DSP with a multiface box, it has everything the Layla has, and you can hook it up to a laptop too. The Layla looks to be ~$1000, so its more expensive, than the Maudio or RME products. Also RME and Maudio have been big supporters of the Linux audio community, so why not vote with your dollar? In fact the HDSP Linux driver came out around the same time the product became available, hows that for support?

Looks like the Layla I looked at originaly was over priced, but it came with Cubase. That makes it worth it, NOT ;-) Layla $995us http://www.midiwarehouse.com/ $675us http://www.cdbm.com/ RME PCI + Multiface $773us PCI + Digiface $699us http://www.sfb.net On Sun, 2002-09-29 at 21:51, John Thaden wrote: -- drh(a)niptron.com Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. -- Albert Einstein They laughed at Einstein.
