Just one more: Does the DSP button in the new version of Pro Tools only work with Carbon or can it also be used to activate external FPGAs from other manufacturers (e.g. Antelope)?

Sure thing. There is an AVB consideration to make which is the selected channel configuration in Audio MIDI Setup. This allows you to scale up or scale down the overall AVB channel count depending on how many physical channels you need, tracks widths, routing complexity, and number of tracks using DSP Mode. But, most of these configs available allow all physical I/O to be used. The idea is to select the smallest config that meets your needs as this will have a lower CPU impact on the Mac.
The DSP button is specific to Pro Tools | Carbon and HDX (future feature). It doesn't work with any third party products.
