Drat, that's a shame.
There's no firmware planned that would allow access to all I/O at the same time (like "matrix mode" for the ADI8-QS) I suppose?

Thank you for the swift reply!

Wanted to re-open this thread to ask the same of the Octamic XTC.  Can extra channels be injected into the MADI output via any of the the digital ins?

Ah brilliant.  So an XTC + Octamic II can actually deliver 16 channels via MADI, the only limitation being the II preamps won't be remote controllable?

Very glad we don't have to de-commission our old Octamic since switching to MADI

Am I also right in thinking the basic differences between the XTC and Micstasy is that the XTC is more flexible and has analogue outs, whereas the Micstasy still has the edge in headroom and SNR?

XTC doesn't have analogue outputs.

Your right of course - I don't know what I was thinking.
Not much evidently!
