I own 3 cards, two in the computer. Two C-16s (one in the control room and one in the studio with an extra monitor) 2 MECs, 3 input, 2 output, and 1 ADAT that I use into an 8 channel lightpipe interface for headphones.
I did have three cards in at one point but never came close to using all the channels, I did like having 3 submixes though...

Heya John! Depends on whether you only need up to eight inputs at a time; another thing you could do is just add the 8 into the first MEC and assign the card it's connected to (A) to whatever submix you want to record (all sixteen tracks) into at any given time.
As far as ADAT cards - I suppose there may be some people who are actually using them with ADATS but far more now use them as eight-channel pipelines into and/or out of similarly equipped devices - say eight channels in from a Presonus DigiMax D8 or eight back and forth between PARIS and an RME 9652 to sync with and pass audio to another DAW like Reaper.

Thanks for the help!
So I could put both 8 ins in the same mec, assign them to the same submix so I can do 16 in at once,
But I would still need both EDS cards/MECs to mix 32 tracks in real time.
I think I have used the 8 in and the mec's 4 ins together (if I don't mind using the 20 bit inputs), is that ok?
Do you notice a big difference in sound quality between the 20 and 24 bit ins? Or maybe it makes a difference when you dither to 16 bits?
Thanks again for the help!

That should be fine - I'll take PARIS at 20 bits over most systems at 24 anyway. There seems to be a general consensus around those who've done a lot of critical listening that neither the app nor the converters are responsible for PARIS' famed "mojo" - if I'm not misremembering, that seems to be in the interaction between the ParisStudioControl driver and the EDS DSP (the app seems basically a sophisticated "control panel" for the PSCL).

I've changed from a G5 to an iMac so I've left the RME 9652 in favor of an RME Babyface, but the beauty of the 9652 is that it's one of the few remaining cards which support 9-pin ADAT sync. Reaper read that info very nicely as APP (ASIO Positioning Protocol) - my sync worked very well using that.
If you've got the 9652 and an ADAT card, you've already got most of what you want - just route via ADAT optical, there's only a single sample of latency.
