After dealing extensively with Digital Monitoring I can attest that it is NOT a suitable replacement for the 524. There's no way to Solo without it or a separate monitoring interface. The sound quality is also degraded using Digital Monitoring as the converters are wide open so there's more noise.

The MC524 is well designed and works. What I did though is use a separate MADI output to drive it so the unused outputs on the 703 are available for other functions.
