'Expensive' is relative in this case. RME's HDSP AES-32 has 8 x AES
in (i.e. 16 ch) and 8 x AES out. 730 Euro at Thomann. That is peanuts 
compared to the price of 8 channels of digital amps. And I'm not even
considering the price of the speakers that wouldn't make using such
expensive amps a joke.
