I have a vague recollection that the ADAT format is encumbered in some
way.
For me this would be most useful as a portable i/o, so I'd want a few
analogue ins and outs. Mic preamps would be good, but not essential.
Personally I would be willing to pay over the odds for something like
this, particularly if it had a bit of spare FPGA space that could have a
DSP unit blown on it, or whatever.

Electrically as simple as possible I'd have thought.

Ideally. Cheap, standard USB MIDI ports are common though, so not
essential IMHO.
