I suspect that A&H are using soft IP licensed from Audinate in their own FPGA design for their cards. Later in 2022 a Brooklyn III will come along and that might have higher counts at 24/96. Right at the moment there is a shortage of these chipsets as well due to the FPGA they are based on being discontinued. DVS can't do this and no hardware recorder will do this due to the Brooklyn II chipset they all use only being capable of 32 channels at 24/96. I do imagine there will be another solution for Apple Silicon Macs incoming, but no word yet, so I'd rather not go out and buy a PCIe card (and Thunderbolt enclosure) that may or may not be supported going forward.I'm afraid nothing will exist. I do imagine there will be another solution for Apple Silicon Macs incoming, but no word yet, so I'd rather not go out and buy a PCIe card (and Thunderbolt enclosure) that may or may not be supported going forward. How are people currently handling multichannel audio capture from Dante? Do you just go with 48kHz? Are you using a PCIe card? Is there an option I'm missing? I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to solve this problem. I don't want to build a setup today that's only supported by hardware that soon won't be for sale (new, anyway). RedNet PCIeR), but the difficulty there is that there seems to be no compatibility story for Dante PCIe cards and Apple Silicon Macs. The only remaining option I see is a PCIe card (e.g. It looks like I'd need two of them (and they're not cheap!) to capture 64 channels at 96kHz. There is of course the RME Digiface Dante, but that has similar limitations. I'd also like to be able to use other Dante interfaces as inputs to the mixer, and I'm a little unclear on what happens if I set the sample rate of just the DVS to 48kHz, while leaving other equipment set to 96kHz. The simplest option seems to be the Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), but that's limited to either 64 channels at 48kHz or 32 at 96kHz. I use a Mac currently for recording, and am not looking to switch. What I'm looking for is the best way to actually interface a computer with this mixer via Dante, ideally to capture up to 64 channels, again at 96kHz. The only option there seems to be to buy the Dante add-on card, which I believe supports 64 channels at the mixer's native 96kHz sample rate. I'm looking to expand my ability to capture audio from an Allen & Heath SQ-5 beyond the 32 channels supported over USB.
