RME AIO PCIe significant upgrade over RME 9632 PCI???

[Josh Burgess]

Just wondering if anybody here knows whether or not the RME AIO 2 channel PCIe interface is significantly better than the older RME 9632 PCI card, specifically in terms of low latency performance...

I have the 9632 PCI card now and it's great. I'm planning on building a new, powerful PC soon to try to allow bigger projects/lower latency monitoring/more samples in memory simultaenously/etc., and I'm thinking about upgrading from the 9632 to the AIO too, but I'm not sure how much of a performance increase I'd actually notice. From what I hear, the AIO is definitely faster than the Fireface 800/400 and even slightly faster than the newer RME USB interfaces that have come out recently, but I don't really know how my 9632 compares overall...

Anybody have any info?

no info but it's funny, i just had the same thoughts, because
i just got a new power system and i have some performance
issues (random ASIO spieks in cubase)
i use the 9632 also and i was thinking about to get the AIO.

hope we get some info here

EDIT:
found out that cubase 5.5.3 made all the problems,
installed cubase 6 trial and everything works great.

i still G.A.S for the AIO though!

I've wondered about that as well.

Logic would dictate yes?.. Dunno, at least the peripheral's benchmarking rates are definitely higher for that kind of connection.

That being said I haven't tried an audio PCIe, and the forum at RME is not very friendly to find info like that, as you must already know.


EDIT_ Here's a benchmarking comparison for you (thanks voidar for the link):
