Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I saw it while ago but it was a bit more expensive.

I did see on there English site that it was now discontinued, but the 
above dosent say that..
Thomann in germany has advertised them at £97 but i dont think the've 
got any left now..
As far as i can see the only limitation is no extra ADAT connection 
like the Motu's have, so you are stuck with your 10 inputs (which 
ain't that bad!)
If it did have the ADAT connection thought about getting a Behringer 
ADA8000 for another 8 analogue channels over ADAT.(+ another 8 
outputs..)
Im thinking XL-7 (back on topic!) straight into the SPDIF and the 
rest into the analogue inputs.
Do all mixing and eq'ing in the PC.
That way ive gained 4' by 3'of desk space!
Also now im thinking firewire is the way to go as both the PC and 
laptop have a firewire port..
