SoundMan-Server can aggregate multiple sound cards in the same computer so that you can use many different (or the same) types of audio interfaces. For example you can put up to 6 MOTU PCI-e interfaces and/or and up to 9 RME MADI cards into a single computer for up to 576 outputs (and inputs). We

Definitely agree, we use multiple Motu's a lot. and they do the job just fine - tho the RME stuff is great as well. Just a note on synchronisation - we all use sigma-delta converters these days and they, especially with the older designs, can have significant latencies. Moreover, in terms of yo

In terms of stability of the cards, you really get what you pay for. RME, for example, has been superb for years–though at a price. An economical solution, say the Presonus Firestudio Lightpipe, for example, has been spotty in connectivity and clocking and was soon sunsetted after it's release, an
