Well... the only thing I can say is that it integrate really well with the S6 and eventually you can sell your other controller or use it in another room.

But maybe the best way would be creating a base unit with a default ad:da card's instead of the monitor licensed...

I agree, it's an option that's worth considering – just bad timing as I just paid to have my Avocet D/A upgraded. (At the same time, using the MTRX ties up a lot of very expensive D/As if you have multiple sets of monitors, so in many respects a dedicated monitor controller provides more bang for the buck. At least if you already have one.)

So is the avid version about a G more expensive? Sounds about right!

Back to the word/loop sync question. I've just connected up a Sync HD, 192 i/o and a DAD AX-32 to an HDX card. Firstly connected the DAD via word clock and it switched nicely between sessions of different sample rates. Then I loop synced the lot and lo and behold the DAD is quite happy.

Are you saying you used the DAD wordclock I/O as if it were loop sync? How is it correctly terminated?

Yup. DAD WC out is going back into Sync HD loop sync in.
DAD is clocking correctly, and the front LCD display states word clock "SyncOK".
If I pull the DAD WC out, the unit sync errors, so it seems to me it enjoys a bit of loop sync.

Interesting. Can you change the sync source to any interface from within Pro Tools?

Ah excellent.

Next question for someone at Avid – what will the analog-analog round trip latency be for the MTRX? Presumably it will identify itself and be accounted for if different to the HD I/O, being an Avid device. (My understanding is that it should be fairly similar as the AX32 round-trip latency is about 0.5ms at 96k, excluding the HDX mixer, and I've seen measurements suggesting that HDX adds about 0.23ms.)
