The importance of the audio interface cannot be overlooked,imho. The more channels the better, but I would suggest sacrificing a channel pair or two in order to go with best interface you can buy, if budget is a question. Of course if you are talking 20 channel pairs, budget probably isn't an issue.

This is good to know. I'm using an AF12 at the limit and would like to expand. I wish RME had more with just analog out though. I know one can add D to A converters to get more channels, but this defeats the reason to use RME, unless it's theirs. I do seem to remember they have top of the line units though with alot of analog outs, but very expensive.
Just curious John, which interface did you get? I see some have 12 analog out, but 4 of those are unbalanced front panel outputs for headphones. Not sure if they could be configured as additional outputs to monitors.
I wonder if anyone has compared RME to the MOTU 24aO?
