I am interested in your suggestions, naturally.

Just the Saffire game is over for me. I returned the first unit  
because of broken phantom power. The second unit worked a couple of  
hours until phantom power went down again. The dealer told me  
something about early series, repaired units and so on and the price  
was very low but I decided to stop that experiment, frighten the bank  
and go for a Fireface.

I started with an Aggregate Device Saffire+Firewire 410 as the  
Saffire broke. That would make the system more flexible and give me 8  
ins and 20 outs although I would keep the bigger latency of the 410.

We can go to the LUG with that if you want, I just cannot test  
anything because the Saffire will leave the studio today. Would be  
more of a theoretically discussion.
