I can't speak for the OP, but large scale playback systems

using spatialization techniques such as Higher Order Ambisonics or Wave

Field Synthesis require this many outputs (and potentially a lot more).

 But really any distributed playback system that goes beyond the limits of

consumer-oriented 5.1 or 7.1 standards would take advantage of having a

higher number of outputs, especially if multiple cards can be chained and

synced. For the price, these cards look to be an economical solution for

such a use case.
