Default can a Digi 002R clock to an Apogee DA16x via ADAT?

I own a Digi 002R and have borrowed an Apogee DA16x

The Digi 002R does not have a word clock in




I have hooked the 002R ADAT out into the Apogee DA16x ADAT in at 48k

The DA16x is set to internal clock

The 002R refuses to set sync to the ADAT ... and keeps reverting to internal clock. Am I screwed? Can I not get the benefit of the Apogee clock? (The DA16x does not have an ADAT out, of course.)

I synch to my 01v96 via ADAT so it is possible. Make sure your digital input is set to RCA=S/PDIF, Optical = ADAT, then set your clock source to ADAT.

I was just noticing the other day how the MBOX 2 Pro has Word clock connectors and the 002R doesn't.

Unfortunately the Apogee is only a D to A converter - so of course it only has digital IN (other than word clock) and I need a digital OUT to make the oo2rack lock to it.

The 002rack doesnt have wordclock in - ARG - so i can't use the DA16x with it.

(unless I also had a Big Ben or similar)

Firefox,
Shouldn't it be your Apogee DA16x ADAT out connected to your 002R ADAT in instead?

The DA 16x converts from digital (the DAW) to analog (your ears) and it only has lightpipe in.... so the answer to the question is no. (for a variety of reasons)

That's right. I am thinking A/D.

You could sell your 002R and for the same money buy a MBOX2 PRO which has wordclock i/o and slightly better sounding A/D and D/A convertors than the 002R.
The only downside to the MBOX2 PRO is its not rackmountable and has no ADAT
