828 MKII or 828 MKIII
Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:21 am
Trying to figure out which one will give me more outputs.
828MKII (uses only 8 I/O via ADAT) and the other 8 analog giving me only 16 to my digital board, (I wont use the spdif)
828 MKIII (uses (2) 8 I/O via ADAT) giving me 16 digitally, could I use the 8 analog to go into my board or will I lose 8 of the digital if I use the analog ?
And in either instance what is the FIREWIRE used for if there is a power cord, does it give you a better sync or something, never figured that one out.
Long story short: Since I never registered my 2408MKII a looooong time ago ( didnt know at the time, just excited to have it) Now that I have a Mac Pro tower, it needs a PCIe-424 card, though I tried to acquire one it has been tough, so I decided to go the route of the 828, though not 24 ch, just trying to see how many I can get out of one of these. 2408 has me spoiled. Gotta do what I gotta do, any help is appreciated.
