I wasn't getting the right inputs when I had 4 lite cables. When I used 2, I get all 8 channels now at 96khz. I also tested recording all 16 tracks at the same time a worked flawlessly. I would guess if you wanted 24 analog inputs, you would need another dp 88 using another cable, running at 44 or 48. I may test that and my octopre 8, I'm sure it will work. So, when running at 96khz, each cable caries 4 inputs. that's what I was doing wrong. with all 4 cables connected, I was defeating other 4 inputs. Now I can concentrate on the fun stuff.:)
