[QUOTE="Chris Clark, post: 76747, member: 2763"] Re: X32 Rack without XUF-card Uli popped in a while back (what, about a month ago now?) and mentioned the possibility of making different options for the card interface, I thought maybe we'd see those introduced with this other stuff at NAMM, but apparently not. Behringer seems to be breaking molds when it comes to the JV digital market, maybe they can break another one with a new sales tactic once more cards become available for the X32 - Since from what I've seen it is hard to get retailers to sometimes sell multiples of the same product line with different options - Sell the X32 series without cards for the same prices, and then you get your choice of the first card (as a "separate" item on the bill of sale) at no charge (some kind of voucher system perhaps?) Cards after that first vouchered one are then a certain price. (The reason I say this instead of lowering the X32 price and then selling cards for the difference, ex X32 $2799 list and cards $200 list is that having dealt with beuracracy in purchasing for my employer, as much as it costs exactly the same for for methods, its easier to "sell" the full price/free card option than the two items at different prices to the bean counters - In my case I could foresee my employer ending up with just the X32 and no card because its "extra"; but in this way it would mean retailers wouldn't have to stock multiple versions of the X32, just X32's and then a variety of cards). Another possibility would be some kind of trade-in option for XUF cards which were included in X32s sold in the last 30 days or something. (If you're only going to use one card at a time, why be stuck with a card you'll never use if you're just going to replace it as soon as you get it, right?) That said, I'm still interested in what cards might be available as I'm not sure I'd have much of a direct use for the current XUF card. I'd like to see cards that provide options such as (I'm trying to think of what others would find useful here too, not just myself) [LIST] [*]A combination of AES/EBU and S/PDIF (both coax and optical) inputs (If something like a CD Player or digital media player has a digital output, at least my preference is to stay digital as long as possible) [*]ADAT connections on the console itself, not just through the S16. [*]A wireless card (this might be harder depending on what "data lines" are available at the card space already) that adds an option for a direct Ad-Hoc connection or Infrastructure. [/LIST] Obviously these are requests "within reason", I'm sure some things border on infringement into the Midas Pro line so they wouldn't really be offered in a card, just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
