It's that question again, and it's here for you to answer and gain cookie points!
Here's my array of the chosen ones:
ECHO AudioFire 4 [[ http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/FireWire/AudioFire4/index.php ]]
ESI QuataFire 610 [[ http://www.esi-audio.com/products/quatafire610/ ]]
Focusrite Saffire [[ http://www.focusrite.com/products/saffire/saffire/ ]]
That was narrowed down from [[ http://ffado.org/?q=devicesupport%2Flist&filter0=&filter1=&op2=OR&filter2%5B%5D=perfect ]].
All these satisfy my need for mobility and at least 2 DI and MIC inputs. From what I know, they pretty much cost about the same, or within 100-200 bucks apart.
* All except the Focusrite are hybrid inputs, so it has the upper hand there.
* Only the Focusrite has onboard DSP effects, BUT unsupported on Linux (ffado)
* Only the ESI officially mentions support for Linux
So here's the homework for you guys:
Reorder the list in decreasing order of merit. Conditions include (in order of decreasing importance):
* Preamp Quality
* Linux Support Extent
* Beauty
* Portability
If that one's too tough, then just pick 1 (or 2/3 depending on which of those you have firsthand experience with) =p
Thanks and good luck!
