Default Re: HD Native and Dante

DVS stands for Dante Virtual Soundcard, which is part of a protocol that Audinate licenses to a bunch of manufacturers including Yamaha, Focusrite, Shure, Allen & Heath among others. The M-400 uses a proprietary ethernet protocol Roland calls REAC. REAC has quite good latency figures but is limited to 40 channels. Dante has a theoretical limit around 500 channels when used with Gig-E switches and probably more when 10G switches come around.

So I don't think DVS would be any use to you. The only device I know of that natively records REAC is the Roland R-1000, so you probably still have to lug your interfaces around. Roland makes a MADI bridge as well for REAC, if that helps.
