I have the AIO PCIe, Im looking to get 16 i/o channels, my budget is under 2k... Im reading the specs but Im new to digital i/o.
this is what i get from the specs:
1. max of 8 i/o w adat.
2. max of 2 aes/ebu i/o
3. max of 4 i/o w the expansion boards from rme.
4. max 2 i/o w spidif.
So is my best bet to go w adat, spidif and the i/o expansion boards..???
My workflow usually revolves around 48k, with sometimes 96k...
Im looking to get 16 i/o channels
The AIO provides only one ADAT I/O with 8 additional channels. Any ADAT converter works on the ADAT I/O. RME ADAT converters: ADI-8 QS (high end, expensive), ADI-8 DS, Fireface UC/400. With 96kHz the ADAT channel count reduces to the half (4+4).
For the additional AES/EBU + SPDIF I/OS (4 I/Os) you need another converter, like the ADI-2.
I think if you need 16 AD/DA channels with up to 96 kHz you should have a look on another interface, like an additional RayDAT or Fireface(s) 800 or UFX with additonal ADAT converter(s).

Ima a little confused now, from the specs sheet it states " Upto 18 inputs and 20 outputs can be simultaneously used" Can some one help me understand how to achieve this?! Im thinking I should have bought the multiface....
Input:
2 analog
4 analog via optional expansion card
2 SPDIF
2 AES/EBU
8 ADAT
= 18 ch
Output:
2 analog
2 phones
4 analog via optional expansion card
2 SPDIF
2 AES/EBU
8 ADAT
= 20 ch
I want to add the channel count reduces to 14 with 96 kHz (ADAT SMUX 8 to 4 channels) - it's a technical limitation of any ADAT I/O.
best regards
