With the remaining functionality of my dying EMU0404USB with spdif in/out the 6i6 seems to bring an ideal configuration.
NI Komplete Audio6 comes to mind, with practically the same features as the Focusrite Scarlett 6i6.
With the Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 I have read, that this cannot be used for direct monitoring without SW, if I undertood this correctly. Would be a real limitation, when I want to use my internal DP sound over my Genelec monitors (alone or as a mix with the CA65 internal sound. )
Another aspect: with my EMU0404USB I made the experience (very definitievely) that output over 192kb makes an audibly much more detailed sound than over 48 or even 96kb. (And I have Pianoteq standard with 48kb sound processing only, but this observation was equally valid for VintageD or even any better sound output from players - like Czesky Rhozlas D-Dur, a radio with FLAC (! with VLC player).
Might be the EMU is suboptimal with lower than highest bitrate handling, and with better AI it is a non-issue, otherwise I would like to have an AI with 192 kb/sec capabilities.
Any thoughts?
