Hi :) I won't capture another ones thread, especially because I'm interested in an audio device only.

Wow, the price is ok. http://www.thomann.de/gb/focusrite_saffire_pro_40.htm "High Quality 24-bit/96kHz Firewire Interface Features high quality A-D / D-A conversion and JetPLL™ jitter elimination technology; pristine audio quality and reliable synchronisation are guaranteed." But is Linux compatibility guaranteed too? Is the sound ok? Btw. since month everything is connected to compare the analog IOs of my sound cards with the digital IOs connected to one of my DAT recorders. At least the D/A, A/D audio quality of my consumer DAT Sony DTC-670 is at good enough hifi quality to fit to my needs. I wonder if this could be a temporary solution regarding to the sound quality.

USB = jitter for MIDI, is it perfect for audio? I could keep my audio + MIDI PCI cards for MIDI, even if it might be complicated to use several audio devices at the same time. http://www.thomann.de/gb/maudio_fast_track_pro.htm I could go without mic pre-amps, phantom power etc., because I'll connect the card to an analog mixer.
