Hm? I tries to switch from LAD to LAU, regarding to current user queries, but it failed. Hi Admin [1] ;). Hi Gustin :), hi Ubuntu Studio users list :), pardon LAD ;) IIUC a HDSPe AIO or DSP 9632 is all I need, if I just need a stereo IO? I only need to buy a BF-BOXLRMKH or BF-BOCMKH breakout cable? If I need additional IOs and wish to avoid Multiface firmware issues, I can add AI4S-192 AIO and AO4S-192 AIO. If I need much more IOs and don't have enough money for RME IOs, I can e.g. use a BEHRINGER ADA8000 ULTRAGAIN PRO8 DIGITAL by ADAT connection. The sound quality might be less good and I guess this will add extra latency and Ardour won't auto-compensate this extra latency automatically? As long as I'm using a mobo with PCI slots I can use AI4S-192 AIO and AO4S-192 AIO with a DSP 9632 and when I switch to a mobo with PCIe only I can switch from DSP 9632 to HDSPe AIO and keep AI4S-192 AIO and AO4S-192 AIO (and e.g. a BEHRINGER ADA8000 ULTRAGAIN PRO8 DIGITAL ;)? Using a DSP 9632 with a PCIe to PCI bridge doesn't work or at least could cause issues?
