Nate,
I wasn't trying to diss anything. I was just curious. I know there is more to it than just the spec sheet, thus why I asked the question. When I was looking at the Echo, I also considered the MOTU HD192. Both 12 ports, both 192/24 capable. I went with the Echo due to cost (ease of getting into this type setup). However, in a couple years when my Echo stops working for some reason (I bought it used), then I'll reconsider MOTU, Lynx and others (I wasn't aware of Lynx before this thread).
Thanks,
