Hi Kevin, the hdsp 9652 is 3 x adat i/o plus 1 spdif so you need external adat-capable gear. I had 2 behringer ada8000's which are cheap (These have 8 preamps, balanced plugs, clock, 8 line-outs that -- at least in these early behringer models -- inadvertently inverted phase, chinese quality all in all) but ok for what I could afford at the time. In order to monitor your input you either route in hdspmixer (any to any) back via adat into external into line-outs. Or you include Ardour's mixer to set up monitor busses (which is a bit painful) for loads of headphone mixes back to hdspmixer etc. Actually if Ardour had some kind of mechanism to show you all sends (think all mic routes of a band recording) to a bus (think headphone mix busses) in one place ... With good latency setup this would be wicked.
