Probably yes :-) > Will they help in producing the feature set and design? Probably yes. I would as far as I can. > What features would it need? For me: * operate at 48 and 96 kHz. * 8 / 16 / 24 analog inputs (line level, balanced) * 8 / 16 / 24 analog outputs (line level) * top quality converters and analog circuits * fixed and calibrated audio levels * support for RMS and peak metering * XLR or stereo jack connectors * no on-board processing, mixing, etc required * optional ADAT interfaces * optional AES/EBU interfaces > What would they pay for it? Whatever I'd pay for commercial hardware of the same performance and quality. HW required - bus interface (PLX) - FPGA - some memory - codecs - analog cirquits Nothing fancy really. -- FA Follie! Follie! Delirio vano e' questo!
