    I currently own a MOTU 2408 Mk2 19" rack unit anda PCI-324 card. However, the card doesn't have the CueMix DSP and I have been looking at replacing it with something that it affordable in the preowned market, looking at the £100-150 range.

    The ones that seem to be in that range on likes of eBay is the RME 9632, RME 9652 and the MOTU PCI-424. They vary between the PCI and PCIe versions of all 3, but prices seem fairly similar.

    The MOTU 2408 Mk2 can work as a standalone ADAT unit so won't necessarily need a MOTU card in the desktop. Therefore, I am looking for a good card, PCI or PCIe, that has ADAT in/out so i can use my MOTU 2408 Mk2 rack unit for the additional inputs to plug my hardware synthesizers into.

    Which of these is best? Or what other alternative could people offer up?

    all i can say is that ive been using an RME 9632 since.. 2006 , it works and sounds solid as a rock, and since 2006 i have never bothered about getting a new soundcard
