can these two peacefully coexist and be used together on the same PCI bus?

I want to add more i/o (specifically outputs more than inputs) but the 1820m is soo limiting in terms of expansion...

anyone have experience expanding their channels using either of these cards?

thanks =)
 
You can add 8 more channels to the 1820m via ADAT. For cheap maybe a behringer ADA8000 to more expensive stuff like Apogee...
 
yeah I thought about that but I need 24-32 channels total...thanks for the info though =)
 
I don't think e-mu plays nice with other cards period... The last I heard they don't like to play well with each other either. But I'm not absolutely sure.
 
Does the e-mu have s/pdif? If so you can connect it to the Delta's s/pdif jack and make one the clock master, the other the slave

the lightpipe can be either spdif or adat but I think you need to use another PC for that since it will not play nice with another card. In the near future I will be buying the 1820m. right know I have the emu0404. I will be installing the 0404 to another pc and use its 1/4 and spdif. dont know how well that will go. my 0404 disables my on board 7.1 channel audio card. I'm trying to creat a hardware profile so I can hookup my home audio system to the 7 channel but the 0404 will not let the card exsist along side it. It wants to be the only one. its alive. even if I uninstall the drivers. if its in a slot it will do its magic and kill any other card.
 
The problem you are likely going to have if you did that, is that most DAW software will only let you use one type of ASIO driver at a time. Companies like M-Audio - all their Delta series cards use the same ASIO driver, so you as you add cards, they just show up as more inputs. Based on the research I did before I bought my 101LT, I do not think this would work between cards from different manufacturers, using different drivers.

does that only count for the exact same product? i.e. two Delta 66's or whatever? or could you add a 1010 to a 66, and not expect any problems?

thanks,

Ahh good point. You're quite right.

However the delta series cards use the same driver so you can install and use different models of the delta cards (up to 4 of them) at the same time
