Bunch of Carbon questions and suggestions

I do everything at 96K too, and yes, I use the S/PDIF at 96k from the ADAT 1. The ADAT outputs are selectable individually as ADAT or S/PDIF. I don't use the inputs so I don't have any settings for those, but it doesn't look like you can use the Carbon ADATs as S/PDIF inputs from what I can see. Looks like the Midas is input only (you're not using it as 8 line outs??) so that isn't an issue. I'd use Word Clock to clock the Midas from the Carbon, otherwise you'll have to use the Midas as the clock source, which probably isn't optimal (not sure if the Carbon re-clocks to remove jitter like the RME interfaces do, but having the Carbon as master is better if it doesn't).


Not a rant, just questions. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much Dominic , very helpful info!

Am I understanding this correctly that the carbon pre will give you additional line outputs as well ? If so that's pretty sweet!
