Topic: UFX+ AES Workaround
Today I learned that the UFX+'s AES and Optical (in AES/SPDIF mode) I/O cannot be used independently.
I have a pair of Genelec SAM monitors connected to the AES output on the UFX+, and I had planned to connect an external 2ch AD/DA to the UFX+'s ADAT 2 I/O in AES/SPDIF mode. Alas, I understand now that this will not work ...
I could of course drive the monitors w/ analog input, reserving the AES I/O on the UFX+ for the external AD/DA, but I would like to avoid the extra conversion penalty if possible.
So, could anyone recommend a robust (and preferably inexpensive) solution that will allow me to connect both the monitors and the external AD/DA to the UFX+ digitally? The external AD/DA has AES, Optical, and Coaxial I/O.
