love my Fire face UFX . Im running Windows 7 64 bit pro on my home build PC:

My issue is I need to add more  IO without losing the ability to run at 24/96  I would like at least 4 more pre amps 12 would be better. At the moment I am connecting the UA  4 7-10 D via adat , which screws up my ability to use the higher sample rates. . I tried  an SSL madi bundle and it sucked.. Drivers very unstable. I would like to find a viable solution within the RME product line. Could anyone please give me some ideas that would work with my set up please? I was looking at the Presonis stuff and the Yamaha   OV1 96i , but
I think both would be a step back in quality from RME. Basically I want to either record
at least  16 of  the floor or track individually with low latency and run at least 6 Phone mixes.
Below is a list of my system if this helps in any way. Thanks for any help you can offer in advance.
