Dwayne,

There's another option to try, that will free up your Adat inputs. On Amazon, you can get a Spidf Optical to Coaxial converter for $12. I don't know how to link to it on my Iphone, but you want the one that's Optical in, Coaxial out.

That way you can set the digital setting of the Omni back to Coaxial, freeing up your optical in to be Adat again. And still getting the benefit of having your Mac's audio come through the Omni's D/A conversion.

And I'm pretty sure you can set the Mac Pro digital out to be clocked externally.


Keep in mind that for recording purposes, the Omni is still a max of 8 channels in. So you could have 4 channels of analog and 4 channels of Adat, with the audio coming in the Spidf not taking away any of that, because it's using the mixer function.
