The Logic Off Topic list

Dear Logic Users,

I am looking for a good Firewire interface that I can use in the studio 
or at remote recording locations. The issues for me are as follows:

- low jitter ADAT input from a Giga Studio PC
- The quality of the AD converters at 24 bit/96 or greater
- The quality and number of microphone pre-amps in the unit

I am aware of the MOTU product but have heard indifferent things about 
build quality, converters, and preamps. The choices I am currently 
interested in are the Metric Halo 2882 which has 8 mic preamps/line 
inputs plus 8 ADAT digital inputs or the RME Fireface 800 which has 4 
mic preamps, 8 line inputs, and 16 channels of ADAT digital input.

The subjective differences in the sound of the converters and preamps 
are things I would like to hear from people about.

Regards
