Except for one exception. Even the great almighty RME has been reluctant
in releasing details for their fireface. That device is definitely out
of the question for linux users.


Yes I was aware of this, but it never hurts to get a reminder. It looks like once my rep gets back in at sweetwater I will probably be ordering the RME Hammerfall 9632(The 24/192 Interface with Analog In/Outs and 192kHz optional expansion boards... Insert Drool here) as it is a nice balance for my budget at the moment. I was thinking about the 96/52 as I like ADAT as a medium, I just dont have the money for some AD/DA converters to do it justice though and replace my Pres. I think the 96/32 will serve me good as that one IS listed in Alsa, Thanks Paul is it who wrote the drivers for that one?;)

Yea at the moment I ahve one of the earlier interfaces that could do 24/96 and am having problems, in particular at the upper end of the sample rates, but even in general(See my post Sorting Out XRuns in Audio-User) that I think are more to do with the card showing its age and possible consumerness;)

What I mentioned above though was for a possible portable setup, I have a Marantz but I am not happy with the Pres on it, and was considering picking up a decent QTopia based PDA, putting ALSA on it, and using the USB connection for the Apogee to give me a nice portable 24/96 setup with good pres. Still considering it, but I havent found anything that says USB standards compliant on the Apogee docs, even though from looking at their installation docs I woudl bet it is, I am not spending that 1.2k before I know for sure;) Besides that would be a ways off.

Anyways I ramble, thanks for the help again.  Have fun.
