RME HDSP 9652 PCI ADAT audio interface

Can't beat the convenience of the ADAT Lightpipe for 24 in/out. The quality/reliability is superb with zero latency. Sync's great and the MIDI in's enable two controllers for all those VST's.

I've owned the RME HDSP9652 for 3.5 years. I purchased it used. It's been absolutely flawless the entire period. I've not had a single issue. The latency is lower than I've encountered in other, less expensive interfaces, and the drives are efficient. I notice less CPU usage at identical latencies than with my previous Presonus Firestudio. The RME DSP routing matrix is a bit complicated at first, but absolutely powerful when you get the hang of it. There are only two downsides to the 9652. a) It won't work in a laptop. b) There are no effects in the Totalmix software. If it could do those, I would never need another interface. Brandon Drury
