>>Here is a wrinkle to this equation.. you said you want to stream 96
channels from the DM2K... ok, no problem. The limitation is that you
would be able to do this at 96K only with the MADI cards. The
standard 96K MY cards are 8 chanels only... this gives you 48 channels
of I/O at 96K fully loaded with AES cards. If you want all 96
channels of I/O you are stuck at 48KHz using adat/TDIF/AES cards.

Just another $.02 on the pile :-)
