The presonus fp10 an firestudio can be daisy-chained, as far as I know.

Ultrlites can be chained as well. What type of socket (USB, Firewire, Internal) are you trying to connect to?

You could use the lightpipes off of a MOTU 828MK3 and have 16 channels as well.

I don't know if they are still available but there was a guy selling two Echo Audiofire 8's for $350. I don't know if that was for both or a piece but if it was was for both you may want to jump on it. The drivers are usually very stable. Mic pre's are ok but the A/D converters are really nice. Might do the trick for you if they're still around...

And it's 320 not 350.

@olivier15,
Out of curiosity, why do you want to run 16 discrete audio channels from your computer into your Mackie?

The summing occurred to me, but not the monitoring. Thanks.
