Good ! I’m looking forward to hearing how it’s going, especially on how it handles higher track counts.

And bring less computers to the set,
As i said the send return issue is promising 3ms each side,
I did a simple test by wearing headphones and a mic (i am a singer)
Within a “wedge stage” situation definetely not hearable anymore,
With in ear good enough for me…
I am very busy these days but i ll post my testings.

I totally understand not wanting to be the trailblazer ! I’m in a similar situation to some extent.

I wanted to run my system at 96 kHz and I know that the 2008 8-Core will struggle with that, especially with CPU-intensive instruments, so I’ve come to the realization that I’ll need a faster machine, more than likely an over-clocked 3930k PC. However, like yourself, I don’t want to go and have the thing built if latency is going to be an issue with the PCIe interface or if the PCIe card is going to be unstable or use unstable drivers.

I’m hoping to hear some good experiences with the PCIe card but I’ve been just about a hair away of just ordering the card(s)/Interface and giving it a shot with my 8-Core and 6-Core.

When I spoke to Focusrite, they mentioned that I should be good to go with my setup goals but then followed it up with a ‘hey, when you try it, let us know how it works out for you’. Yep, that’s right, the old ‘beta-tester’ slogan.

I may just go ahead and try it with this setup though. I’m so curious to see if this is going to be a “win” ! If not, it’s MADI for me ! []

Oops !!! I Meant 2010 6-Core Mac Pro ! []

I’ve been wondering about the latency as well. I wanted to use the PCIe card for I/O between two Macs (A 2008 8-Core and a 2012 6-Core) with the 8-Core being used for Virtual Instruments and the 6-Core for mixing/effects as well.

CMattE, have you tried the Dante card in this fashion ? If it is stable and can handle a decent amount of I/O, I’m all in!
