FireFace converters:
ADC: AKM AK5385 AVF
DAC: AKM AK4935 VF
If you can find the info about HDSP converters, you might have a clue about your question.

...No clues, and i couldn't find the converters either.
I think Stas was comparing the 9632 with Multiface not with Fireface...however could you tell us what you think about the 9632 converters?
I've got one and i am satisfied with it but i would like to kow were it stands in terms of converters in the RME's range...
Cheers

HDSP 9632 converters are:
AD is AKM's AK5385 AVF and
DA is AD's AD1852.
FireFace800 ,Multiface 2 and HDSP 9632 uses same AD converter ,witch is AKM AK5385 AVF. So ADs are the same in all those models ,now we have DA converter ,HDSP 9632 have AD1852 provided by Analog Devices. inc ,witch give us 117db Signal to Noise at 48khz sample rate.Now,Fireface800 have a AK4395 DA converter from AKM SEMICONDUCTOR.INC and he give us higher result of Signal to noise of total 120db.Well ,the result is beter DA converter in Fireface800!
I dont know what DA converter uses Multiface 2 but according to the price of both ,HDSP 9632(749$) and MultiFace 2(799$) there is not big difference ,looks like ins/outs of Multiface 2 took their place of rising the price.
I think that, Multiface 2 and HDSP9632 are the same or lets say very similar in term of converters ,i dont think that they have a huge difference in between ,anyways, better converters ,probably a higher price. (AKM is Rocks!)
BTW:Multiface 2 have better converters than Multiface 1 ,i guess the question was bout Second multiface ,cause hdsp9632 really piss on younger brother of multiface.
Cheers!

Those figures are only for the converter chips. Once you add all the electronics and analogue stages arround the chips, the figures don't look the same any more.

my pricelist was from Synthax ,multiface comes separeted with cardbus or pci ,the pci costs 339$ ,kinda smart packege, but if you gonna add to HDSP9632 both ins and outs so u gonna have same price+-.i was counting multiface naked witch is almost same price,
well, in case if u decide to buy one ,go for multiface2 cause u can use it with laptops and praty compact too,but if you own a hdsp9632 already and wanted to know bout a difference ,then will be better to round it up it with fireface800 or fireface400,
anyways it might be like if a multiface2 released later so it better, comparing to Hdsp9632? dont think so.
