Topic: Fireface 802 firewire 400 vs 800 connection

Hello,

I am using a fireface 802 for some years now, connected on the back from firewire 400 to my imac on firewire 800.

I am rebuilding my studio, so I was wondering if is worth changing the connection to firewire 800 > firewire 800 instead.

Am i going to gain anything form this change?

I am not recording simultaneously a lot of channels, just using 2 line ins from my mixer plus another 2 from outboard effects.

Will it help anything on the CPU of my imac or better latency with audio or midi?

Thanks
Alexis

The 802 uses only FireWire 400 within the 800 socket, so there will be no change at all.
