Annabelle, yes I asked about the XLR outputs being labeled "Balanced 24-Bit 192 kHz Analog". I don't know what physics we're even dealing with when analog is described in bits and sample rates.
Anyways, it's way too expensive for me to bother with. I won't be using any of the MOTU's AD conversion, or any of its digital connectivity - only its preamps and analog outputs. I'm not sure I need to spend a thousand dollars on this kind of solution.
Looks like a nice interface, hopefully you can get what you want out of it. Take care.
