   Agreed. I'm using the board's balanced direct outs for the first eight
channels, which go directly into the saffire. The other 16 are unbalanced
TS lines from the insert jacks to the RCA Phono inputs of a pair of old
ADAT LX20's which I'm using as outboard A/Ds, and then lightpipe to the
saffire. Eventually, I'll replace them with a pair of Octopre mkII's and
get everything balanced, but until I discover a spare kilobuck laying
around, I've got to use what I've got...
