The multiface can do 8 i/o at 96k with the internal converters plus an additional 4 (via smux adat) at 96k. At lower sample rates it will do 8 channels on the ADAT ports. The SPDIF adds another 2 channels of digital i/o (not sure if that goes up to 96k or not... i guess it does by the advertising). jlc
