Yes, this is a hardware expander board for synths as well as the 
SW1000XG sound card.

Kenton makes a rack box to hold four of these cards, it can be used 
to expand an SW1000XG sound card, or can be bought with an 8 output 
card to allow standalone operation...

So, you could have four of these boards running in a 1U rack mount 
box, with stereo outputs from each module.
