If you're meaning the Digiface here, wouldn't it also be 8+4+2 == 14, because for every 8 channels at 96K, you need a *pair* of ADAT i/o; the Digi only has three. > You then *maybe* get 2 more outputs using the headphone output if it is > BTW, does the headphone socket work? I seem to remember Paul Davis saying (when he first wrote the driver) that the only things not supported (yet) were the headphone/line out socket and the LEDs. Goodnight, Malc
