Hi folks,
I’m really curious about the X8 IN as and ADAT expander for my RME Fireface UC and was just wondering if anyone was able to report on any experience they have had with this unit so far?
Good? Bad? Both?

Hi,
Not much to say except that it just works and you can forget about it.
Build quality is exactly what you’d expect : sturdy, durable, professionnal.
I bought it to expand my Audiofuse : it was cheaper that going for a 16RIG, and more flexible for my room.
Small setup buttons and vumeters on the box bring some quality of life on everyday use.
One thing than annoys me : the AC adaptor. As almost every equipment in the studio this use a wall brick, and trying to plug half a dozen 90° adapters on your powerstrip without losing space is a nightmare .
I would have loved to get a standard power cable, and AC/DC converter located in the X8IN, but this is something that is getting very rare nowadays…
Thanks for the response. That’s good to hear.
