I own a digi9652. The card has three ADAT lightpipe

banks, one SPDIF, nine pin ADAT sync and wordclock.

I am guessing you've got a mixer and are building a

studio. It's probably safe to suggest that you can

never have to much I/O. My RME card does not have MIDI

but I see the newer ones do. I think that's an

interesting feature because ADAT, wordclock and MIDI

are all on one card where they occupy one pci slot and

one IRQ. My experience is that I never have to many

pci slots. Having everything on one card just seems

ideal to me.
It's to bad some people are experiencing problems with

the newer HDSP card.

I have a Tascam DM-24. I think you can buy them used

for $2,000.00 U.S. For the price, it's a great board.

Of course Tascam preamps and EQs have always sucked

which is one reason their boards are so inexpensive. I

"insert" the preamps/EQs from a Soundtrac Solo into

the Tascam.
I also have a couple Yamaha AW4416. Of course their

preamps and EQs are on a par with the DM-24 but their

A/D is even worse. I have clients who own HDD for

these things and when doing their sessions I route

Solo -> DM-24 (insert) -> AW4416.

Does the Lite have wordclock? I think the digi9652 is

the digi9632 with a daughter board that has wordclock

and one more ADAT bank. The daughter board doesn't

require a pci slot but it does bolt into pci slot

chasis.
I get confused with the RME model names. The one I own

and am referring to is an older card. I've never had a

problem with its drivers.
