Topic: Wordclock and Adat clocking together?

I have a Raydat card with the optional Bnc/Wordclock card.  Now i have a few questions on how to set my clocking between all my units.

My gear is:
Apogee Rosetta 800 (Bnc/Wordclock in and out, also adat in and out)
Presonus Digimax Lt (Bnc/Wordclock in and out, adat out)
Sm Pro 8 channel preaps with adat card (Bnc/wordclock in and adat out)

Now my the Bnc/Wordclock card on my Raydat only has 2 outs so i can not connect all 3 as i heard daisy chaning wordclocks is bad. 

Can i run the Apogee 800 clock via adat and then wordclock for the other two units?

Or is there a better way to set this up?

Any advice would be great.

Yes rosetta on adat is possible and just as good as wordclock. What device do you use/want as master. I would choose your most important or best sounding device as master.

Rosetta is my most important.  So then I would run the Rosetta as my master via adat to my rme and run the two bnc cables from the Rme card to my other units?
