Description

The FireWire 18/14 is an 18-in/14-out FireWire audio/MIDI interface including 8 channels of ADAT Lightpipe I/O and 8 x 4 analog I/O. Complete with two channels of mic/instrument preamps, this exciting new piece is perfect for project studios that want to go all digital. The ADAT Lightpipe I/O allows you to bring ADAT tracks into your software studio, and connect directly with other digital gear such as digital mixers and M Audio's new Octane preamp. Other features include 192kHz fidelity on 2 inputs and all 4 analog outputs, S/PDIF digital I/O with support for PCM, AC-3 and DTS, flexible internal mixing with assignable rotary encoder and a front-panel momentary switch for DJ-style headphone auditioning between 2 assignable sources.

Digi002 rack vs. Maudio FireWire 1814

The faceoff begins in a few days... It's a battle between the ad/da converters and preamps inboard. Who do you think will win this shoot out? Are the converters and preamps better in the digi002r then the maudio FireWire 1814?

Is the API A2D still worth it?

Anybody know of a good small audio interface with spdif to connect the API-A2D ? I need to update from an M-audio Firewire 1814, which also have 4 outputs and 2 headphones, that I use everyday. Sadly my PC is getting old and firewire is gone, also the drivers are old.
