However, since this is a completely new card I doubt it is supported by Linux yet unless RME have done the decent thing and donated one to Paul Davis. The RME ADI4DD converts AES to ADAT: http://www.rme-audio.com/english/adi/adi4dd.htm ...and the ADI8DS allows using two ADAT connectors to double up 48kHz into 96kHz: http://www.rme-audio.com/english/adi/adi8ds.htm So you'll have to try other manufacturers to get to 192kHz. Good luck Malc
