I think we may be talking a little bit apples vs oranges here. I've you're a
recording studio and *need* 26 channels in/out, than an external rack mount
interface is unquestionably the way to go. AudioScience cards are aimed at a
very specific market segment (radio broadcast automation and control), and
such large outboard interfaces would be overkill there. Based on both lab
instrumentation and my own ears, they have solved the analog design issues
very well indeed.
Cheers!
