No, you need a HDSP host card. This means for your iMac you have to use some PCIe or ExpressCard adapter via Thunderbolt.

Re: hammerfall DSP Multiface on iMac

Just bought two Multiface II and I want to use them with the iMac (2010er).

As far as I know, the only solution is, to connect RME through some PCIe or ExpressCard adapter via Thunderbolt - as written above.

1. Has anybody tried that out - any problems like performance issues?

2. What products (Adapter) do you recommend

3. Is there an Alternative to RME HDSP Express Card?

4. How about linkin' two Multiface II via Firewire-Cable?

Lots of questions. Thank you for your replies.

Cheers

I doubt your 2010 imac has got TB yet - so there is no way to connect the MF.

Apart from that:
1) Works fine
2) Sonnet make such an adapter
3) No
4) Not possible.
