Thanks a lot for your answers. If i understand, i have many solutions to achieve my goal :
- buy 1 soundcard, for exemple : - MOTU 24Ao AVB which is class complient : good news for linux users) - Presonus VSL1818 with a ADAT 8-channel DAC (Roman, do you have a link for this with jack connectors ?) - buy several 'small' soundcards (like 8 Griffin iMic, cheap solution but lot of sound cards) - buy 2 soundcards with 8 outputs (in this case, i need 2 usb controllers on my computer, right ?) - buy 2 C-media CM6206 soundcards (cheapest solution here, never seen and tested but looks promising) By experience, in theatre, i prefer to have an easy setup, PC + 1 or 2 soundcards, on which i can plug jack connectors. The sound will be a Pierre Henry music. If someone has other recommandations ? ++ Jack Le 06/05/2016 14:54, patrice colet a écrit : > If it's just about having 16 channels DAC, using two C-media CM6206 > soundcards should be enough but you might need direct input boxes if the > amplifiers are not just beside the computer, I tried this chipset and it > works good on a pcduino2 and Pd with 8 channels, no glitches, it should > works as well on a Raspberry Pi 3.
