Oops, just for the record, maybe I was mistaken about the Multiface,
after re-reading this:
HOWTO: Using the Hammerfall HDSP on Linux

"The Multiface offers eight channels of analog I/O and digital SPDIF,
as well as ADAT in and out for a total of 20 channels of 24bit/96kHz
audio. The Digiface offers three ADAT in and outs and SPDIF for a
total of 26 channels."
So maybe the Multiface can do eight 24/96 channels using the internal
A/D+D/A *plus* four more 24/96 channels using the ADAT ports to/from
a double-speed external convertor such as the ADI-8DS:

http://www.rme-audio.com/english/hdsp/digifa.htm
However, there is only one ADAT in and out on the Mutliface, unlike
the Digiface's three ins and three outs, so I'm confused as to how
Peter came up with 20 x 24/96.
Hmm?
