Hello Agus,

I can confirm the Saffire Pro 40 works at 96Khz. I barely use this
sample rate though so I can't tell if it will run for hours or even
days. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. I can use my Saffire Pro
40 for hours at 48Khz without any hitch. I've occasionally forgot to
switch the set-up off and the next day everything was still running fine.

Best,

Jeremy
