I tried researchig this but can't find a definite answer. I'm thinking of purchasing an 828 mkII to use mainly as a send/return device for external effects & processors. Can it stream 8 chanels of audio from a daw to 8 different outboard devices while simultaneously streaming the 8 processed signals back to the daw using the 8 balanced analog ins & outs? I seem to remember reading (not on an official MOTU site) that there is a limit to the number of channels one can send back out from the PC through the firewire.
Thanks in advance.

yes, it has 8 analog ins and outs- it also has 2 other analog in
yes, it has 8 analog ins and outs- it also has 2 other analog in w/preamps, plus the 8 via adat as huub said. It also has spdif in/out plus main analog out (L R) and auxiliary outs. As to a channel limit I have recorded as many as 16- 17 channels at one time before- the limit is 20, 2 via pres, 8 analog, 2 spdif and 8 adat
yes you can..no problem..also more channels if you use the adat
yes you can..no problem..also more channels if you use the adat i/o..
only limit is your harddrive and cpu speed, but any normal hd and computer can do it..the internal mixer can do this with almost no latency..
otherwise you deal with the latency of your asio or other driver..
