Presonus DigiMax FS
Here is something I stumbled upon:
=================== PreSonus Audio has announced the new DigiMax FS — an 8-channel microphone preamplifier with 8 channels of 96K ADAT (dual SMUX) in/out, balanced analog direct outputs, and TRS inserts on each channel. The DIGIMAX FS is the perfect solution to add eight class A preamps to expand any digital audio hardware system with ADAT optical light pipe I/O including the Digidesign 002, and 002 Rack, Yamaha DM series digital mixers, RME recording interfaces and of course the PreSonus FireStudio. DigiMax FS Features: 8 class A microphone preamps w/ trim control 24-bit resolution, up to 96K sampling rate 96k ADAT input/output (dual SMUX) direct outputs on every channel inserts on every channel word clock input/output =================== Now I don't think the 002/002r support SMUX so the 96K via ADAT optical in is not going to work. You are still limited to 8 channels of 48K via the ADAT optical input. The 002/002r only have one ADAT input. The plus over the Digimax LT is that you get 8 channels of DAC for eight additional outs (again limited to 48K). For those looking to get a Digimax LT, this Digimax FS may be the way to go. Perhaps the next interface by Digidesign will support SMUX.

Re: Presonus DigiMax FS
I did not find the DigiMax FS this on their website but I read the ad on the current issue of Electronic Musician. It has a picture of the back of the unit. I will check again tonight as I didn't bring the issue with me. I think you are right that these are just direct outs from the pres and not DAC outs from the DAW. Too bad as that would have been a great feature to have. Nevertheless, it is still a good investment for those considering the Digimax LT.

I agree, I love my digimax LT, but I would not purchase this just because my digimax LT does what I need it to so I am just saving up to start getting outboard pre's and this new Lucid Converter. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=188301

The DigiMax FS does have DAC outputs.

Re: Presonus DigiMax FS
Yup, The latest ad includes a clear picture of the back and a clear caption showing the 8 DAC outputs in all their glory. The DAC's are a good solution for most in the Digi001/002 price range. At least you don't have to hide a Berringer piece of crap (sorry for being a snob against Berringer but it is what it is). On the other hand a Apogee is probably slightly beyond the budget of Digi001/002 owners (not all but most). I'm not going to dump my Digimax LE (which I Love) just yet but if I were buying my 8 channels of pres for the ADAT in's now, this is what I would seriously consider. I see the point about the inputs on the front but since I use a patchbay anyways it's not a real big issue. It's an asthetics thing though.
