Hello Arni,

From the ADI-2 DAC menu, go to: IO > Settings > Source

From that point, you can select any input. I am doing exactly what you are trying to do, and switching 'source' via the above menu option works perfectly without any need to unplug the SPDIF optical cable.

Arni,

I just discovered a much simpler way to switch between the USB and SPDIF inputs. The remote control has three buttons: "COAX", "OPT", and "USB", and as one would expect, can be used to select the current input.

Sorry I didn't notice this sooner. This is only the second day I've had the unit so still lots to learn!

Have fun!

Hi, MC. Many thanks for your reply. I'm trying to record vocals. I'm trying multi-channel mode now. The latency seems to be no problem now. However, SPDIF In seems to cut the DAW playback on my ADI 2-Pro.

here is my setup.

- USB cable to connect to DAW / computer (*note ADI is in Basic mode: AUTO, BUT I changed CC-Mode to "multi-channel")

- 1 analog in (L on ADI-2) from 3rd Party mic preamp

- SPDIF out to send to digital reverb unit

- SPDIF in as return from digital reverb unit

So for playback, I want to hear (1) playback from DAW (backing track), (2) mic pre from analog in, (3) SPDIF in from reverb unit.
I want to mix all the levels within my DAW. I want to hear this from Phones 3/4. Is this possible?

In multi-channel mode, I can hear DAW playback as normal until I connect SPDIF in. SPDIF in seems to cut iTunes + DAW playback.

I'm almost there. All I'm missing is the SPDIF IN as an input that I can record. SPDIF Out 7/8 is available to select, and it works (my reverb unit is receiving SPDIF input, and clock information). But in my DAW, I cannot find the ADI-2's SPDIF In. None of the inputs 1-6 seem to be SPDIF In. There is no 7/8 input.

kind regards,
ian
