Topic: Multiface as ADAT (Sync)

I do use five RME Multiface 2 on PCI(e) Slots in my PC. Each one connected to a first generation Multiface via TOSLINK. As the TOSLINK cables and conectors are a little dodgy, I hotglued them (on the outside) to the boxes, but still use additional Word Clock to sync them. This setup gives me (cheap) 80 inputs to have all my hardware connected on dedicated channels and works flawless.The only thing is a little latency increase and of course the need to keep the first generation Multifaces powered at all times.

So here are my questions:

- Is there a way to get better sync through the PCI/PCIe card directly?

- Shouldn't it be possible to 'reflash' the multifaces to have stored the analog to ADAT routing? This would involve RME, but I'd
gladly pay for that service!. Thanks for reading!
