Bought a Yamaha i88X (firewire)

Sure looks like a nice unit anyway. The price has dropped dramatically, now $399 everywhere. Sure it only does 96 KHz 24 bit, who cares? 192 chews up twice as much disk space.

I did look into the MOTU 828 and the new MOTU Traveler. THe Yamaha was half the price of either, 828 going for $750 and the Traveler for $850. I think I read somewhere

that MOTU's warranty was only 90 days?

Anyway, the Yamaha looked pretty good for $400. When introduced last year, its list was $1300, street price around $800. Should be a good one, better than the old 20 bit Echo Gina I had been using since 1998.

only 90 days?.....must be a joke....i had one year and no problem since two years!

Of corse....400$ is cheaper! And you know best what you really need....have fun with your new interface!

btw. i use it with 24bit /44.1kHz most.....more is not necessary....192khz is more for those high-fidelity freaks who have 80000$-worth loadspeakers and a special designed room to hear all those differences between the notes! (hifi-freaks kill me!)

all the best & greeetz
