Getting 24-ch of Analog Out of My Computer

Here's my set-up:

Korg D1600 16-track HD recorder.
M-box with Protools LE on Mac G4.
Mackie 1604

I was hoping to be close to done but the guru's over in the mixing & mastering neck filled my head with visions of analog mix down (something about "bad" buss summing of DSPs). Anyway, if I did want to go back out to an analog board from Protools LE (or other software multi-track spitter-outer if necessary); how can I get up to 24 individual analog signals out of that Mac and into an appropriately sized mixer (note--I'm aware I'm track limited with the Mackie but humor me anyway).

The Delta 1010 will get me 10; can I hook up a couple of these?

MOTU?

Ethernet?

Help:confused:

I use a MOTU 2408mkII into a HD24. It works me.
 
I believe that most interfaces are cascadeable or at least work well in series. If I were doing this I'd want it all on one good box like track rat has.
 
Its the Alesis hard disc 24 track, 24 bit recorder. I also it as a A/D/A converter through the 2408 in and out of the computer.
 
MOTU 24i/o Brand new just out. It's only about $1500 with the pci card. That's what I'm getting as soon as funds permit. I use a delta 1010 now.
 
Thanks HangDawg, I saw that at the MOTU site and figured it might work.

I'll start saving as well.

Im running 2 RME 9652's for a total of 52 channels Input/Output. When it works it is great, but techsupport at RME and their US distributor Xvision is kinda lacking.
You can run multiple Deltas/midiman units in many cases, but you NEED to find someone with a working setup and copy theirs. Midiman will LIE to your face about compatibility, so be real careful there.
If you can deal with MOTU's interfacing software, then they are a bargain and a half for hi channel counts
Soundscape mixtremes are for real Pro cards, and you can get 64 channels of them in one PC, TDIF I/O tho
People say Echo has stopped doing the horrible tech support crap they used to, so the newer Layla's might be cool too
 
And about RME multiface, who have or you have test it ?

thanks
