If you want to use different devices for recording and playback you are better off just getting the converters ONLY version of those devices and route BOTH sets of converters thru the SAME interface (the only thing I can think of where someone would do this is with using decent A/D converters for recording, then mixing ITB, and using a separate stellar stereo D/A converter for monitering). If you need uber high I/O counts look at the Fairlight for 256 channels I/O plus. If you need higher I/O counts look at MADI interfaces (you can usually use 2 of them together). You can use PCI card interfaces together to get 72 channels of I/O (really 78 I/O if you also use it's spdif).

Many interfaces will allow expansion so it's not about unreasonable I/O limits either. Using multiple drivers/interfaces of different manufacturers will only result in a higher latency. Real time low latency is one of the highest priorities for DAW use. You will find using an interface's specific ASIO driver will most likely give you the best latency.

The ASIOforALL driver will help many but usually is not the lowest latency driver available to use. Non-ASIO drivers are probably high latency.
