I need a new card to replace my HDSP 9652 in order to expand my I/O. I want to purchase new, not used. Since I purchased my cards 3 years ago I see that MOTU has gone to mostly USB Hybrid interfaces and RME has changed the HDSP to a single point connection (like what MOTU used to do) to one of their outboard interfaces. Anyone using any of the new MOTU or RME products?
If so, do you think that the MOTU interfaces can handle 36 inputs and a dozen outputs on a single USB 2.0 port? I'm skeptical.
