Hi there people,
So I'm looking for options to expand my rig, I currently have HD Native with the Omni interface, so for now I'm stuck at up to 8 inputs, I was hoping to get 8 more. I have a few options in mind, please I'd be very happy to hear some experiences and suggestions. I'm only looking for increasing my inputs, I'm ok with the 8 outs available in the Omni.
So my first idea was to simply add a HD IO with 1 AD Module (8 ins), that would leave me some room for easily adding more inputs in the future, but that doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Are the HD IO's only available in those standard configurations (8x8x8, 16x16's)? This is actually my main concern because any of these standard configurations would be a huge waste.
What about those digital connections on the enclosure (AES/EBU, Optical and S/PDIF), do they work simultaneously with the installed modules? I mean, if I had a 16x16 Digital, I would actually end up with the 16x16 + 8 Optical + 2 AES/EBU + 2 S/PDIF? From what I read on the manual it appears so but I don't want any surprises, could someone confirm please?
Now, on the other hand I could simply sell my HD Native + Omni rig, go for something else... and the strongest contender have been so far: RME RayDat PCIe + 2 Audient ASP880 + a monitor manager with digital input.
Another serious contender is the UA Apollo Quad, but I'm still trying to figure out the details on its connections and multi-unit cascading. Also I'm not sure if I wanna spend on DSP, if its workflow is what I want and I still need to figure out the costs and benefits of RME+Audient vs Apollo(s).
Anyways, is it possible to get a minimalist HD IO? Does anyone else suggest alternatives to the limited inputs of the Omni?
Cheers!
