... My problem is that I am using the adi in the usb mode and to access the multichannel mode. CC-mode is set to stereo & greyed out, so I can not change. Is there any other parameter that is blocking me from using it in a multichannel mode ? Further more I would like to ask if I could assign a separated channel to the 3/4 TRS output in order to have the 1/2 for my hardware mastering chain & the 3/4 for monitoring. Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for all the help it seems to work perfectly Is there a way to also route also 3/4 to the spdif out ?

Not within ADI-2/4.
If you look at manual page 42, it might be possible using Phones Out 3/4‘s  Loopback to ..., in conjunction with a re-routing through USB rec/play, in the host PC.
Might be possible, but doesn’t feel like a viable solution.

What are you heading for?

Thank once again for the feedback. My ideal set up would be to have 2/4 se as my interface/converter for monitoring, for being the ad/da for my hardware chain & for having a mirrored monitor path to the spdif to feed my clarity m meter. This is my mixing set up and I want to replace my apollo x4. With your help I ve managed to figure out the first 2 parts (though it seems that I can not use the headphones when having the 3/4 routed to the trs outputs)

ADI-2/4 Pro SE‘s AES, Coax and Optical digital outs carry the 1/2 unprocessed signal (switchable to processed too).

Perfect for connection of a metering unit.

Headphones can be connected to Ph 1/2 in any case, for monitoring.

This way you can use:
• DA 1/2 for all monitoring demands, speakers, headphones and metering.
• DA 3/4 Rear TRSs and AD for an analog mastering chain.
• DA 3/4 Front TRS and 4.4 mm Pentaconn for occasional headphones monitoring in case a 2nd, independent headphones out is needed, e.g. for tracking with another musician.

Reporting back, I have found that by changing the dig. out source to main 1/2 feeds the spdif with the processed signal. Is there a way to feed it with the unprocessed one ?

Yes, “Default“.

Manual, repeatedly explained on pages 40 ff:

The option Digital Out Source - Main Out (SETUP – Options – Device Mode / DSD) sends the processed signal Line Out 1/2 to the digital outputs AES, SPDIF and ADAT, for example to connect active monitors having digital inputs.
