The base unit looks slick but I hate to think what the breakout cable looks like!

Modelled after RME's Babyface with the addition of FW.

Which, of course was "modelled after" the Apogee Duet with the addition of Windows compatibility, more channels and ADAT I/O.

That's a very stingy complement of I/O for $600. I guess the "16" figure is padded by ADAT optical I/O, but of course you can't use that without buying yet another box.

Just can't wait for the day when a company like MOTU is going to release something like the 24IO but with a control surface to provide basic mixing functionnality when not plugged to a daw

I almost consider all audiocard counting the ADAT ligthpipe in/out as false advertising.

If you don't count the ADAT as I/O, you're not getting it. If you have a Duet and a cheapy Ultragain PRO-8, you can use a total of two microphones to record a live band into a computer. If you have a Track16 and a PRO-8, you can use 10 microphones to record into your computer. A far cry from false advertising.
