RME expansion boards (stereo TRS inputs?)

[mikea]

I'm probably gonna sound a wee bit thick here, but if I add the AI4S-192
expansion board ( http://www.rme-audio.de/images/hires/ai4s192_lg.jpg ) to
the HDSP9632 card, are the 4 TRS jacks stereo? meaning, that I can use RCA >
TRS leans to input a stereo source ie, a CD player? or will a CD player take
up two inputs(1 for left, one for right)?

No, they are balanced mono jacks.

"This analog expansion board has one bracket with 4 stereo TRS jacks and
offers the same performance as the on-board stereo analog I/O of the HDSP
9632: up to 192 Khz, balanced and 3 different reference levels. With this a
maximum of 6 inputs can be achieved. "

Maximum of 6 inputs (two for the main board and four for the expender board.)

If you want to feed stereo in from the CD player, you should use the TOSLINK port.

If you want to put stereo in from a tuner, you should use two RCA - 1/4" cables, one for each channel.
