I ended up getting a motu 24ao
http://www.motu.com/products/avb/24ai-24ao/video.html
thats 24 outs with a maximum of 48 if I connect my ADAT units. The food
thing is they are expandable with their new AVB ethernet connection which I
believe can give you up to 256 outs. A steal at £750 ..

Hi,
I have the M-audio Profire Lightbridge for years now and I am quite happy.
Please keep in mind that is not USB, but Firewire 400 instead. Also is
about to become obsolete as they stopped development for that unfortunately.
The new OSX won't have drivers for that and I'm pretty sure Win as

For low cost multi-channel players with decoding and eq, it might be worth
investigating the ADAU1702 which is a complete single-chip audio system with a

Sure - its a great idea to make your own I agree. I simply dont have time
at the moment as I am busy with other projects - but I would certainly
invest in a system made by someone here if its timing was solid. For me at

Hi Augustine.
I use two identical ST-Lab USB SoundBox modules, but
it should work with any sound card/module (compatible with ALSA).
Here's a small howto:
The sound chip on my laptop is ALSA device hw:0,

It's not great, but it's certainly adequate!

it is a sd-card-player, easy to use and you can use it stand alone, so
