[FFADO-user] Buy new hardware for FFADO?

[Charles W F. <cha...@sh...>]

Hi Jonathan ,

We spoke a few months ago about problems with the MOTU 8Pre timing.

I currently have some money available to buy a similar replacement
box, specifically one that will "just work" with FFADO.    I wonder if
you could recommend the best model for us, i.e. a model that you use
yourself and are actively testing and developing for?

I'm currently look at this one which is "fully supported",
   http://echoaudio.com/products/audiofire-pre8
but perhaps there are others that are even closer to your own daily work?

(We will probably buy three or more boxes of eight channels each, for
use in acoustics research at the University of Sheffield.   That's a
significant investment so I'd like to make sure we are as standard as
possible to the driver.)

Any recommendation would be very useful, please do let the
manufacturers know that we are asking you for buying advice too, we've
worked with 96 channels in the past so we might be spending serious
money here, and keen to use it to nudge the world a little more
towards open drivers!
