Another great interface from RME!

RME's HDSPe RayDAT is a multi-channel, multi-format PCIe-based solution from recording, mixing, and mastering. The SPDIF (phono) and AES/EBU (XLR) I/O are available simultaneously thanks to separated recording and playback devices in the form of separate cards. RayDAT provides 4 x ADAT optical I/O, SPDIF I/O and AES/EBU I/O for a total of 36 channels of inputs and outputs along with two banks of MIDI I/O and TotalMix, RME's DSP-based real-time mixer/router. HDSPe RayDAT is a true professional solution!
