*At 44.1/48kHz. ADAT channel count halves when sampling rate doubles.

Note also that the Pro 40 has analogue inputs 1/2 on the front panel; the Pro 10 and Pro 26 has the 8 jack connector inputs on the front panel and 8 XLR connector inputs on the back. The Liquid Saffire 56 only has the input 3/4 instrument level jack inputs on the front of the unit.
