Thanks all for your help and suggestions.

Glad you got it sorted! I have been bit by the multiple bad ADAT cables situation in the past and it's always a forehead slapping moment, lol.

WC (including an older ASP800) and it's been rock solid throughout the years with various converters. Do you think the MTRX Studio's clock is better than Big Ben? If so, I might have to switch

If you need fancier clock boxes to physically just drive different devices/fan out clock signals enough then great. But there is just no other justification for this stuff, and I'll eat my hat if anybody can show an audible difference in double blind tests.

Hope the OP got the original problem solved...

I agree, hence the question regarding the MTRX Studio and me still happily using an ancient (by todays standards) clocking device. I'm glad nothing has changed .

I've been bit by this as well. Don't buy cheap cables.
