Hi
I´ve looking around for audio interfaces lately, as much line I/O´s as possible, ADAT possibilities etc. The idea is use the 24 channels of my mackie. I was looking for M-audio Profire 2626, wich looks nice, and with good comments about it in the net, but I own a old M-audio and I really don´t want to buy M-audio again.
I´ve found the Phonic 808 Universal (http://www.phonic.com/en/firefly-808-universal.html)
Capable of 18 I/O´s via firewire, it´s really cheap, any experience on it? I know it won´t be like a Apogee, but I´d like to get some cheap solution and then earn money to get really pro converters.
This one with an ADA8000 for around 500€, plus my crappy m-audio (just for +8 outputs) and I will have up to 28 outs and 22 inputs, fits my needs, and my budget too. No need for nice mic preamps .
Googling it give me confusing results, some people talk sh*t about the brand, anything specially bad on this unit, some people says it´s worth the money and in harmony central it´s a intensive review I´m reading, looks fine...
The brand makes audio analyzers, speakers and amps, many things, looks serious, some of the people in there writes in the forums, looks like good support. Also, the unit it´s not new, and seems to work fine with my OS (Mac OsX10.5.8)
I think I will take the risk, I feel some kind of good vibe on this....
Any info, suggestions or experiences are welcome... Thanks
