I have a Motu 2408 mk1 that I keep a Pentium 4 running to support it as I only have the PCI 324 card, I was thinking of changing out this interface for a Mackie Onyx Blackbird 16 (ones on sale at a local store).
Looking at the stats of both the 2408 and the Mackie I should be able to use the 2408 as a stand alone A/D converter into the Mackie.

Has anyone used the Mackie and have any thoughts on it? And has anyone used the 2408 as an A/D convertor?

Thanks

Just an update,

I got the Mackie Blackbird, Set the 2408 to Analog (converts the analog inputs to the digital out) set the master clock as the 2408.
Setup the Blackbird to listen for clock on the ADAT connection and just lightwire cabled (used an old toslink cable) from the out from the 2408 to the in on the blackbird, The blackbird sync'd fine and I get to use the 8 channels from the 2408.

Thanks

I probabaly should have posted the original message in other hardware.
