Hey Martin - thanks for the info.

Im not bothered about 96k so thanks.

I just read that the old 324 card also does not have any DSP so you can not
do zero latency stuff.  I will keep to the 424 card..

Great price on your 424 and 2 x 1224!

Good to know that the old interfaces are compatible with the 424..

The only thing I don’t like about the 24io card is that it means I have a
big group of ADs in one place.  I like the other approaches as it means I
can run single TDIF or ADAT lines to different batches of gear.

Its interesting that once you start taking everything into consideration,
the Motu stuff looks positively cheap!

Good stuff..
