I like the HD24 but it doesn't do 96, only has 12 analog inputs and I HATE lightpipes. They seriously limit your input options unless you have a great ADAT a/d.
The standard HD24 does 12 channels of 24/96 via the ADAT inputs. If you need analog inputs at 96k, you need to get the XR version.
I'm an idiot. someone kick me. or give me a -T. I thought I knew what I was talking about but i didn't bother to look before I spoke. So it does have the 24 inputs, I was thinking about another box. But I still hate lightpipes. Probably because I don't have any equipment that uses them.
