If you're considering the FIREPOD, I'd spend $50 more and get the MOTU 8Pre instead. Its ADAT lightpipe interface makes it much more expandable, and I'm a lot more impressed with the reliability of MOTU's hardware.

Just my $0.02.

Additional inputs/outputs. ADAT lightpipe can carry 8 channels of I/O, while S/PDIF caps out at 2.

Motu ok for PC? I will need adat? I dont have a adat. Whats current I can use it with?
 
Also maybe a dumb q. Why do I need '' if i choose it'' 8outs on the firepod if it got 8pre?

It's a FireWire interface just like the FIREPOD. The main difference is that it provides ADAT optical digital I/O for additional expansion if you ever need it instead of S/PDIF coaxial I/O.

I can't answer the PC question. Never touch the stuff. :D
 
have you checked out the echo audiofire stuff?

The analog outputs give you more routing options. I sometimes use additional outs on the firepod to send a soft synth out to a distortion pedal or an amp, and then record it back again through one of the inputs
