PCI-only, and just audio interfaces (ie bridging to some audio standard
format):
RME: RayDAT (24), AES (32), MADI (64), MADIFX (192)
Marian: A3 (24), M2 (128)
There's also an ethersound interface supported.
In all those cases you would need an external converter. All those
solutions would cost much more than just a cheap ADAT converter or a
second Multiface.

Packet insurances exist, so who cares?

I have no experience with such crap gear.
