Probably yes :-)

Probably yes. I would as far as I can.

For me:

  * operate at 48 and 96 kHz.
  * 8 / 16 / 24 analog inputs (line level, balanced)
  * 8 / 16 / 24 analog outputs (line level)
  * top quality converters and analog circuits
  * fixed and calibrated audio levels
  * support for RMS and peak metering
  * XLR or stereo jack connectors
  * no on-board processing, mixing, etc required
  * optional ADAT interfaces
  * optional AES/EBU interfaces

Whatever I'd pay for commercial hardware of the same
performance and quality.

HW required

 - bus interface (PLX)
 - FPGA
 - some memory
 - codecs
 - analog cirquits

Nothing fancy really.
