With Linux it works in class-compliant mode. You have all the 12 inputs and outputs (4 analog + 1 ADAT), but no hdspmixer. Most things (sample rate, input and output gains, phantom power), can be controlled from the unit itself. This includes mixing, but limited to the 4 analog I/O and the first two ADAT channels. Also no panning, only L,C,R. Audio quality is perfect. Just one thing to be aware of: the first two analog outputs are REALLY balanced, i.e. you get two antiphase signals on pins 2 and 3 of the XLR. Which means that to connect to an unbalanced input you need a non-standard cable, leaving pin 3 unconnected. And strangely enough, analog inputs 3 and 4 (on TRS) are *not* balanced. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
