I just bought myself an Mbox2 Pro (yeay). Anyways, If i'm understanding things correctly, when I use the S/PDif inputs I only have the option of recording at 48khz and not 92khz. Is this a true statement? I read it in a sound On sound review but it confused methank you guys
I don't have that unit but I took a look at the online documentation and didn't see anything there that made me think that such a limitation exists. I'd bet that you're fine going at 96 but maybe someone who actually has that unit can confirm this.

SPDIF (basically AES/EBU) should be ok to carry 96khz signals at 24bit. I think the MB2 pro is rated up to 96khz as well so you should be fine I think.

Thanks guys. Maybe I have it confused with the external word clock. I'll have to do some research!

You'd need music production toolkit to record at 96 anyways.

I'm pretty sure that's not true

No you don't - LE can handle sample frequencies up 96Khz.

spdif, as a format, is capable of up to 192k, however, the LE interfaces (mbox 2 pro, 002, 003) limit protools le to 96k max. the music production toolkit expands track count, not sample rate...

I don't know about that particular unit but I know protools can go up to 96khz

Pro Tools LE will go up to 96kHz but only with an Mbox 2 Pro or a 003. Otherwise it will be limited to 48kHz.
There is no reason the session should be capped at 48kHz when you use S/PDIF at 96kHz.
Which Sound on Sound issue was this review in?

I'm not sure which issue. I read an on line review. I'll try to find the link for you
