I know people who have bought an RME card 15 years ago and it > still works like on the first day. for the record, i'm using an RME digi 9652 i got from ebay for really cheap (under 200€ iirc). no analogue i/o, but three adats. throw in an ADAT converter of your choice (starting with the behringer ada8000 for 220€), and you have 8 channels in/out, easily expandable to 24. the digi is now 10 or so years old since it first came out. the only problem in the mid-term is that it's still a PCI card, so i have to watch for PCI slots when upgrading my mainboard. other than that, i'm sure the card will be sufficient for my requirements until it finally sheds its mortal capacitors. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
