I ran across this on the RME website. Its a recent card they call the Hammerfall HDSP 9652. It is supposedly their latest iteration of the Hammerfall series although I have not found where to purchase one yet.
Per the white paper (see on the RME website) they claim it is much more flexible because they custom programmed a FPGA chip instead of the typical DSP chip most everything else uses today.
For those of you think FPGA means something to do with womens golf, it means something like FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY so this implies that their engineers write much of the custom code inside the chip themselves rather than depend upon fixed libraries of algorythyms as would be found inside a DSP. This begs the question of whether this would make for a more buggy design....
Acording to what I read, it has 3 ADAT and a S/PDIF. Can support multiple virtual channels turning your DAW into the Grand Central Station of DAWs.
Anyone know of this RME card and its reputation out there?
