Using an x-node as a standalone audio card

I know x-nodes can be used back to back as standalone audio snakes, and I am wondering if there is any reason one couldn't be used standalone with a PC running the Axia IP-Audio software to create in effect a high quality soundcard.
That is to get audio in and out of the PC with no other Axia mix engines etc on the network, just the IP-Audio software talking to one or more x-Nodes used as audio interfaces.

Yes, indeed. That works just fine
Taking in account the built-in router/mixer, it's a real power pack!

That's how we used the first node we got at Radio Royal in Larbert, purely to get sound out of a virtual machine.
Over time we've added bits of kit and yesterday our first whole studio went live.

Thanks for the confirmation Craig. Good to hear about your new studio too. We got a full set of Axia gear for the radio station, but not yet deployed, and it suddenly occurred to me one of the nodes could solve a problem I have with an unreliable M-Audio 8 track interface!
If ever you're visiting Wester Ross, do get in touch and drop by for a visit to Two Lochs Radio.
