I don't know anything about AES at all, but Carbon doesn't have an AES output anyway, so not sure how it's relevant.

The question was about connecting a Carbon to a Grace904b monitor controller at 96KHz, and a $4 ADAT cable going from optical S/PDIF on the Carbon to the optical S/PDIF on the Grace seemed like the simplest and cheapest way of doing this to me (and seemingly to Darryl too). No need for additional sync in this scenario.

If your question is just a generic one about AES and sync, I have no idea as I've never owned an interface with AES on it.
