Soundpool Falcon Analog 8/4 Interface REV A

[NCGM]

I have one of these and today I thought I would open it up to have a nosey. I discovered that it is a revision A model, so does this mean I may have problems? I suppose I should just have a quick session with Cubase Audio to find out! I also still have the Steinberg FA8 and this seems to work fine for me, but I got the Soundpool to match the green SPDIF interface

I suppose I could go for a compromise and stick the Steinberg motherboard inside the Soundpool case, but I might want to sell one and keep the other.

So is revision A worth keeping?

As far as I know the Soundpool branded devices always used the higher grade components so you should be ok.

I've had both devices and could interchange them just fine, the only issue I had at the time was I didn't have enough power supplies to run them on more than one falcon...

Not an issue these days though.

Here are some photos of my Soundpool Falcon Analog 8/4 and Steinberg Falcon Analog 8 interfaces, so you can compare the circuit board components and layout. The first two photos below are the SoundPool, then the next two are the Steinberg.
