| Oh yeah, my bad. The firewire ones are even worse than the PCI. I had one of the first 2408's they ever built, and it was better than my 896 for clocking stability.
Go with Lynx, or a Lynx card and Mytek converters if you can afford it!
[edit] I should add that although I really like the Myteks personally, there are other converters on the market that kick the sh!t out of the MOTU's. Prism (expensive!), Lavry (less expensive, but still a bit), Benchmark, Lynx and others.
Just pick the best one you can afford and go with it. You don't have to obsess endlessly over which one. Your recordings won't suck with any of the above as much as they suck with MOTU converters. Not that MOTU is horrible, but the stability, overall build quality, and clocking leaves something to be desired. |
