Topic: Babyface with Digital splitter for Audient Nero + external preamp sync

What I want to do:

- Use Babyface Pro FS as interface (need something small and portable)
- Use optical out of babyface to connect audient nero that stays connected to monitors / headphones
- Use an 8 channel mic pre (ultragain / focusrite etc) via ADAT for more phantom powered inputs

Since the babyface only has one digital out and I need to feed two devices (nero for audio, preamp for sync), will a toslink splitter  provide a proper signal to both devices?

Yes, except the one I was looking at was a 2 output passive device

It is cheap, not much to lose, it should work, the maximum distance is shorter, maybe half.

Or you can set the adat preamp as clock master.
