I tried to post in the correct place. Not always clear where things should go, though.

It uses the same driver as the 24A. It has less analogue audio output channels than than the 24A, but it does have Thunderbolt, and the analogue audio channels have individual balanced sockets.
I haven't tried it via Thunderbolt, since I don't have a spare Thunderbolt port, but it works well via USB (and AVB).
Thanks, Martin. That's helpful information.
I’m finally going to move on upgrading to multi-channel! (So far I’ve been limited to the stereo input of the Rodgers, so . . )
I’m dreading having to deal with the mixer, but other users have indicated that it will be worth it, in the end.
I plan to continue to run two channels through the Rodgers console, for cross over for the passive subs, and the remaining eight channels will bypass the organ and go directly from the 16A to the amplifiers.
Is there an optimal number of channels? I could add two or four more to the 10 if 12 or 14 would be beneficial.
