Just an extra note that the superMADI card does allow mixed sample rates; each link pair (1-2, 3-4, etc) has individually selectable mode (48 kHz, 96 kHz SMux, 96 kHz HiSpeed).

It looks like I can keep the console at 96 kHz and use I/O at 48 kHz.
The MIDI setup seems to need some attention, but I am relieved to hear that it will not be a problem when used properly.
I have a dante card that only supports 48k installed in my dlive system and it works without having to change any configs. Maybe avantis works the same?
