And thats the 10 total right there.
As I think I said pretty clearly, with ADAT, MADI, AVB, or DANTE etc. you can use multi-channel boxes to provide I/O to an interface that has one of those digital connections.

The Rosetta 800 you have already *is* an ADAT line level input and output box.

Like... a large range of products at many price points and capabilities. Preamps and/or line level, maybe with Mic DI, maybe remote control preamp gain, maybe multiple digital outputs, different sample rate support etc. etc.

Also you mentioned the Rosetta200 kinda blows compared to newer converters. I don't doubt it. So you think it may be better to run the Neve1073 channel into whatever audio interface? So instead of going Neve107 => Rosetta => Interface, you are saying it may be better to go Neve1073 => Interface ?
I didn't say it blows, just that is may not be worth the effort to run as a outboard converter, esp. since it sounded like you are just using one channel of I/O with it.

As long as you have a decent interface and a spare analog line input you can just throw your mic preamp output into that.. or if you don't have enough line inputs again you can add a decent preamp/line in box on ADAT or MADI or whatever digital I/O connection if your interface has that... and again the Rosetta 800 is such a box if you have an interface with ADAT Input.
