M-Audio ProFire 2626, can I use strictly external pres/converters?
Hey guys,

I'm weighing my options for acquring a Pro Tools based setup. I'm not interested in the 2626 at all for it's preamps and converters. I simply want to use it as a "dongle" or go-between for external hardware (preamps/converters) and Pro Tools.

Is it possible to have 26 channels of external gear? Meaning, can I use strictly external converters like the Lynx Aurora and external preamps?

I see that it has 8 analog inputs. I probably wouldn't even use these.

Could I connect an external converter unit via SPDIF or lightpipe to utilize all 26 ins?

Sorry if my question is unclear; hopefully someone will understand what I mean.

Cheers,

-Joe

Now that I look at it, the ProFire lightbridge seems to be a better option for me. No preamps that will be unused and it is pretty cheap.

Now, how would I use the Lynx with this setup? I would need a PCI card to be able to utilize the lightpipe technology, right?

thanks
