Has anyone tried this one?

(with SAC and ASIO, obviously...)

Digigram make lousy drivers. I had a UAX220-Mic and it was hopeless, partly because the drivers were so bad. Bob has said that Digigram drivers have been poor in the past. Maybe their modern ones for this are better. I wouldn't count on it though.

I've been around the Digigram cards for awhile now and they record quite nice from what I've heard from the Tesla tour. We used SAW in line with the Innovason rig. I still thing the RME approach is a LOT easier to use.

Yes, I read it...
But, I didn't find anything about LX6464ES and SAC.

I saw this one:

and thought LX6464ES would be a good match...

Also, like MADi the hardware interface will not be cheap. If you have an application where the amount of traffic is very high (FOH, In Ear, Video & etc.) then, it IS one of the best ways to go. You can split it any where in the net and not influence the signal, If I'm not mistaken, there is a system wide latency of 3ms, but its at 48 X 24 bit and sounds VERY good, plus no one on stage ever notices the latency.

What you would have is a net of audio where SAC and SAW can be used at any point with more then one inserted. How about 2 SAC FOH, 2 SAC for IE, 1 for Cues, 2 SAW in a mobile and etc....all independent of each other.

What a mess:D

You'll see more hardware at the NAMM, CES and AES shows for Ethersound and SAC/SAW would cut the cost to where it would be every reachable.
