Currently my recording setup is an RME Multiface II connected to their
PCI-E card, which of course works great in Jack. I'd like to find a
way to take advantage of the 8 ADAT i/o's so I could have 16 i/o's in
use total.
The funny thing is though that almost all the standalone converter
boxes made by RME, Lynx, and just about everyone else that have 8
i/o's and an ADAT port are around $1700-2000 USD. It seems odd that
RME can manage to put 8 analog i/o's with nice converters into a
Multiface II box and sell it for $700-900 but they can't give you the
same thing without the computer uplink for less than $1700. Look at
the comparative prices to see what I mean:

Maybe patent licenses? ADAT isn't an open standard AFAIK..
