I suggest a DX expander like the DX012, but for Inputs. Also with the possibility to switch to AES Inputs with SRC.
Till now the only option for AES Inputs is a DX32 Expander, which is an extremely space consuming solution.
That would also be a great addition for the AHM.
Can I ask what sources you’d be using this for?
There is another option if you have spare I/O ports and only need a few AES inputs:

The 6 in / 4 out card has 3 stereo AES inputs with SRC.
Thank you, I know these. I have the 10 Out AES Card in my dLive System.
I my case all the I/O Ports are full (Dante, GigaACE, AES Out).
A DX120 (or whatever you would call it) would also be a great addition to the AHM to make it more suitable as a system processor, especially with the new features in V1.5.
Mainly I would use these inputs to connect other consoles to my system. At the moment that has to work via analogue inputs.
For AHM this would be a great addition to use it as a system processor e.g. to connect several mixing desks to sum them up in the AHM.
I also would love to see a DX120.
Honestly, if AH gets around to something like that, it should probably be in the DX88-P format. Heck, ‘just’ make a DX88-AES and be done with it. Great for installs etc. Then you can have 16x16 AES in a single rack space.
That would be great as well.
