Topic: UCX II with ARC USB standalone
I think about buying UCX II but do not want to be surprised so I would like to ask about some functionality. I have read all manuals, looked on the net, videos and so on but one thing is not clear to me.
I would like to use it as a playback device from TV (Toslink 48kHz), BR player (stereo SPDIF) or PC (USB different sample rates) to Neumann monitors SPDIF out FL/FR and via Toslink to ADI2 DAC (SL/SR)
Lets say I will define some snapshots for each purpose, some fader groups, 3 mute groups, map used functions for ARC USB keys.
Then I will store the settings to device.
I want to use UCX II as standalone for watching TV without starting PC. ARC USB connected directly to UCX. I will need only switching snapshots, muting, and output volume change for channels in fader group.
Will everything work according my settings like connected to working PC or are there any exceptions?
If ARCUSB will be connected directly will it work also with PC like if it would when connected to PC USB port?
What about sample rate? I can set clock source and SR in Windows driver.
But how it will work in standalone mode when watching TV (toslink in 48kHz) ?
Can this setting be stored somehow together with snapshot or is it possible to set it without PC?
If I will set it with PC, then shutdown, will UCX remember this? Will it remember SR after switch off/on in standalone?
I understand it is special case but home use is usually different than studio and I am trying to fit both somehow.
