Hi everyone,

I'm looking to ameliorate my audio-chain.
Especially looking for a mixer ( digital or analog ).
Here's what I'm looking for : in order of importance
1 ) Sonic quality ( great preamps and EQ )
2 ) Recall
3 ) 32 channels minimum
4 ) dynamics
Right now I own a Yamaha O2/R ( 2 in cascade ).
Thanks for any advice.

M-Audio 1814 or RME Fireface 800

I have an M-Audio 1814 but do have the opportunity to upgrade to an RME Fireface 800. Any thoughts on this? In the past I've had PCI cards from M-Audio and RME and liked the RME's (DIGI96/8 PST) analog outputs much better, though it looks like the 1814 has improved from older products. I'm really interested in the quality of the converters on the RME.
