My Method (might take a minute to learn) :
connect the spdif cables as described in the traditional method
connect your 003 to your comp and the mbox to the 003 (unless you have separate busses, in which case connect each one to their own firewire bus, not to be confused with just a separate port) basically keeping the mbox after the 003 in the firewire chain so that the 003's performance wont be hindered by the mbox being in the chain. Youre still going to set the 003 to clock through spdif and set the sample rate of the Mbox through the control panel. But we arent going to disconnect the Mbox. In pro tools, use the 003 as your interface. But since the Mbox is connected, we can use the control panel to route the digital and analog signals just as they are while in standalone mode. So, in Outputs 1-2 tab, select stereo mix one. bring up the faders for hardware inputs 7-8 (those are the spdif inputs). For the spdif left and right tab, use mix 4 and bring up the faders for hardware inputs 1-2. Now your setup for stereo ADDA but with more flexibility than standalone ADDA mode!

Serio your instructions are perfect it really helped this newb in this kind of thing connect some dots.
It is crazy.
I set up the mixer like you said. Played a wav file using WMP and the sound comes out of the monitors as you would expect.
When I open up my test session I can't change the clock source to spdif.
And yes my SPDIF I/O is connected correctly. I to the O and the O to the I.
In the Windows Control Panel Under Sound. The Digi 003 S/PDIF 9/10 is selected as the default Playback Device.
