Agree.

I find DVS a real pain if you are switching sample rates.
Actually that is a pain with Dante too- say you load up a 44.1k sample in Wavelab to edit but your MTRX is at 48k- no sound.

I actually have a dedicated UA Apollo for this.
It outputs analogue signal that goes to an Audinate 2 input Dante converter that clocks of the MTRX sample rate.
This was cheaper than, say, getting an AES card for the MTRX that does on the fly SRC and using an AES PCIE card in the Mac Pro.

I know there might be technical limitations why HDX can't be multi client but it is a real pain in the ass to work this way.

I've considered making the Rednet card the clock master and having everything clock off that which will solve the 'different sample rate in Wavelab' issue but will probably complicate recording over Digilink.
