I've been toying with the idea of replacing my Delta 1010 with a MOTU
24 i/o, to have a full 24 channels of analog I/O.
The thing is, unlike the Delta the MOTU box does not have any digital
I/O capability, and I'd still need that for digital transfers of
stereo material.
It seems you can't swing a dead cat without hitting some new firewire
or USB box that gets you mic preamps, 8 ins/outs, that sort of thing,
and there are a ton of analog stereo converters that utilize USB.
This is not what I need though if I got the MOTU box, I'd just need a
way to get a digital stereo feed in and out of the DAW.
My old studio computer (a 386) has a DAL "digital only" card that does
this, but it's an ISA card which obviously my new computer does not
have. There might be a PCI solution (such as one of the cheap Delta
cards) but I don't want to take up a PCI slot and interrupt just for
that.
Maybe I've missed some products and I realize it's not a big market,
but does somebody make a stereo "digital only" audio interface that
works with USB or Firewire?
Thanks,
