Hi,

I'm pretty much decided that I'm after an RME Fireface 400 (with Cubase 4
or SX 3). This will be a supplement to my Paris rig, and I suspect I'll gradually
phase out Paris (sob). Lack of non-native inserts on subgroups and master
bus, lack of latency compensation, no support for 96 k, etc, is getting a
bit frustrating.

Anyone have any experience with the FF400? How does audio quality stand up
to Paris? I'm not too concerned about the pres as I've got a DAV BG2 and
an SPL Gold Mike (Mk 1). Most critical is A/D and D/A quality; also stability
(I'll be using it with a Dell XPS 2.0 ghz 2 gig ram laptop).

Any thoughts / experience on how the converters of the FF stack up against
Paris, Metric Halo 2882, or any of the Firewire interface competition - e.g.
Focusrite Saffire 26 (which seems to have a killer featureset, I'm just worried
about compromise on quality), Makie 400F, etc.

Many thanks,
Dan
