Hi everyone,

In our studio we own a Lynx Aurora 16 with AES in/outs and being a long time fireface RME user myself I am inclined to buy an RME card for our aurora system too. I have a few concerns though, if someone could help I'd be very grateful. Here are my questions:

1) Firstly, rme hdspe 32 aes and aurora 16 are compatible, is this right? 16 channel in 16 channel out simultaneously?
2) I will be using an 2010 dual quad mac pro with a spare pci-e port, is this ok too
3) What sort of latencies (or buffer) should I be expecting at 44.1khz with a minimal amount of plugins during tracking?
4) Is the Fireface mixer similar to rme hdspe 32 aes's mixer? I really really like that almost everything is routable, and it would be great if the same sort of mixer comes with AES 32 pci-e card.

Thank you so much in advance

Best,
