I've been looking around at other interfaces that might suite my needs to simplify my setup a bit. Right now I'm using a Fireface UC plus an ADI-8 DD to split out the toslink to multiple AES outs. I'd like to find a single unit with at least 8 AES (or SPDIF) I/O and USB.
I was looking into getting a Merging Hapi but it turned out that it has absolutely no mixer type control program. I could get the new RME Dante interface to connect to the Hapi and have TotalMix but that just makes my setup more complicated with no benefits. I use the TotalMix sort of as a monitor controller with various different levels and calibration presets. It seems that RME is the only company that has the amount of routing/mixing/preset flexibility I need for me setup. Are they any others I'm missing?
