Ah, that's quite a catch.
The 1212 is not going on sale anytime at all. I spent a lot of money and time upgrading and maxing it out, so it's well above the level of the off-the-shelf product. It may be relegated to a lesser rig, but the card is a stellar performer now and I'm very happy with the software setup and ease of use.
Nor is this card in the picture for me. I'm looking at a Firewire unit that can be cracked open to provide I2S feed, and a Buffalo 32S (the new version), but this is only by the end of the year. I'm broke now. The Buffalo that I use now will then be up for grabs, along with the Delta 66 which is currently in the backup rig - that card is even more heavily modded, with Fine Gold and Black Gate caps, new opamps and regulators, EMI suppressors, that sort of thing.
