The hammerfall will do 52 so I don't see 60+ as that much of a stretch.. http://www.rme-audio.com/english/hammer/d9652.htm 60 channels @192/24 is 35Megs/s. A SCSI cards and Gigabit ethernet interface do much more than that. Perhaps you could not get super low latency running all 60 channels. All 60 channels would take a minimum of 300mS to move across the bus. You would need PCI 64/66 at that stage. PCIe cuts that in half or a quarter if you do x2 Getting that to fly in an FPGA however may be the problem as you start running into clock speed limits. And an ASIC suffers from the lack of startup cash. > FWIW, my ideal audio interface _requires_: Thanks for the info. > * At least 1 ADAT Lightpipe in/out Where can I find the spec on this?
