I still don't know what to take

Now a really stupid question:
What outupts do i get from a hardware Kompressor, EQ, Tube Preamp or A/D converter?
(like Massive Passive, Lavry Blue,.....)
Cause i want to buy them in the future (maybe one year or two...) will i have problems with the FF400 cause i don't have the right connections or to less connections?

Thanks for the comments.
Go to the websites of the equipment you are interested in and look at the manual and pictures of the back of the unit.

All fireface 800 inputs are balanced and all the high quality equipment you mentioned above should also be balanced. It's just a matter of XLR<=>TRS cables for outboard micpres.

As for comparing FF400 vs. FF800:

The main difference as I see it is that the 400 is more geared to a user on the go ( mobile market) at the expense of some I/O. And also the 400 does not support Firewire 800 speed.
