Hi MC!

I would like to understand how AOX-D is connected to other Dante devices or whether is possible to connect it without a switch. Here are the 2 options for what i understand:

Option A — With a switch

Cabling:

• AOX‑D Primary → Switch
  M1620‑D Primary → Switch
  Computer’s regular NIC → Switch

Option B — No switch (daisy-chain)

Set both devices (AOX-D & M1620-D) Dante port mode to Switched (no Redundancy)

Cabling (pick one of these equivalent chains):

Using the AOX‑D as the pass‑through:

• Computer NIC ↔ AOX‑D Port 1
  AOX‑D Port 2 ↔ M1620‑D Primary
  Leave M1620‑D Secondary unplugged

Using the M1620‑D as the pass‑through:

• Computer NIC ↔ M1620‑D Primary
  M1620‑D Secondary ↔ AOX‑D Primary
  Leave AOX‑D second port unplugged

Example:
Diagram (AOX‑D as pass‑through)

• Computer NIC ⇄ AOX‑D Port 1 ⇄ AOX‑D Port 2 ⇄ M1620‑D Primary

So is the option B possible? Will the Dante controller be able to control the sample rate for both devices?

Thank you! Regards Nino
