Of course the sound output is different on a measurable scale. Wether it is on a scale that might cause problems for your use case, I doubt. The tolerances of your amps and speakers might be bigger by a few magnitudes. > What would be your suggestion for 16 outs on linux? Do you want to expand that channel number in the future? In that case it would probably make more sense to get an interface that gives you more channels in the first place instead of maxing out a smaller interface and having to throw it away in the next expansion step. > I'm not necessarily limited to expanding upon the Multiface/HDSP that I > already have for this project, although saving money is certainly a good > thing! The cheapest solution with exactly the same output characteristics: Get a second used Multiface I and use it as ADAT->Analogue converter box. Measure the ADAT transport delay (should be in whole samples) and compensate the latency. Done.
