Re: [Sursound] Multi-channel Audio Interfaces For Ambisonics Playback?

Thanks, Michael. I'm trying to move away from Firewire, as that seems to 
have died as a computer interface, so the MOTU Traveler is out of 
consideration.



I see that the MOTU 16A has 16 analog outputs, with Thunderbolt and USB2 
interfaces:

-S/PDIF to A converter
or
-AES/EBU to A converter.)

Not a planned system,  just what was about ... but it works fo me.

I use a Motu 24 ao . I also have an RME raydat with several Behringer
ada8200 as backup. Nearly all DA converters have noise below audible levels
these days - even laptops. I also have a motu ultralite mk3 - which can do
12 outputs if you use the stereo headphone jack.

[Sursound] Multi-channel Audio Interfaces For Ambisonics Playback?

2016-05-11 Thread len moskowitz 
What are you using as the audio interface for a playback system having 
up to 12 speakers? 



I see that Tascam has their US-20x20. What else is out there that has 
low noise?
