Yeh Focusite is class compliant too.It looks like it’s driverless on the Mac, which ‘should’ mean it’s class compliant. Since it’s just a straight 8 out device with no routing or mixing, there’s a good chance it’ll be ok.
Just ask anyone who uses it on Linux for multichannel, if it works.
It doesn't.
So class compliant almost means nothing to me. from practical experience
We need to know what Linux kernel version was tested (if tested) for 8 channel support.
Or wait for someone to buy and test
