this list is steamlined from the others, to simply shows the audio interfaces that feature BNC word clock in&out (hiding those that dont feature word clock)
this feature is important for maintaining sync between audio interfaces when using aggregate setups (combinations of devices summed to provide more comprehensive i/o) it might be argued that this is a professional feature reserved for devices that woudl most likely be used in multi-setups with more i/o provided from using multiple interfaces simultaneously

Each ADAT channel supports 48kHz/24-bit operation, and S/MUX mode is also available to pair ADAT channels in order to provide 12 96kHz/24-bit channels instead. Like its predecessor, the HDSP 9652 also implements what RME refer to as 'ASIO zero CPU load' technology, meaning that you can have 52-channel operation without placing any burden on the host processor.

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may01/articles/tascampci_news.htmThe PCI-822 is a PCI-based interface card that includes everything you need to send digital audio and MIDI signals to your computer for recording and sequencing. It includes a TASCAM 8-channel TDIF interface for DTRS recorders and compatible equipment, a stereo S/PDIF interface for DAT recorders and CD players, and 32 channels of MIDI I/O for keyboards, synth modules and mixer automation. The PCI-822 supports 16-, 20- and 24-bit audio as well as 44.1 and 48kHz sampling rates. Plus, it includes Nemesys' GigaSampler LE so you can take advantage of powerful software-based digital sampling. The PCI-822 is also compatible with most digital audio and sequencing software applications, and can be installed to both Mac and PC computers. If you're using a TASCAM modular digital multitrack and want to get into the power of nonlinear hard disk recording and editing, the PCI-822 is the affordable, easy-to-use solution.
