Hi, I was actually looking for a 8 channel preamp, when I found this Behringer ADA8000 device that has a 8 channel A/D and D/A codec AND an 8 channel preamp. The device has a digital DAT out for the A/D codec. http://www.behringer.com/ADA8000/ Does anyone use this device on this list? Is it supported by linux and what hardware is needed on the PC side to hook the digital connection to Ardour? br, Timo
