Topic: RME fireface UCX ADAT channel expansion with Behringer ADA 8200
Hello, I have a RME fireface UCX and am hoping to have more software playback channels by adding an ADAT device such as ADA 8200. I mainly use multiple VST instruments and plan to assign each of my main instruments to separate SW playback channel. Here are my questions.
1) Would connecting ADA 8200 to UCX give me more channels for my VSTi? I don't need to use ADA 8200's analog inputs. If it works, would the audio quality on extra ADAT channels are as good as my original ADAT channels?
2) It seems ADA 8200 only supports 48K ADAT input/output. I have one hardware synth with SDIF connection - this synth supports 44.1k only. Would it be okay to hook my UCX to the synth via SDIF @ 44.1k and at the same time connected to ADA8200 via ADAT @ 48k? I am concerned about signal sync issue.
Thank you so much.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Best regards,
Min
