WR, This is almost exactly what I'm doing with my HDSP 9652 & Pro Tools, but I'm doing it over ADAT instead of spdif. I suppose you must be using the Pro Tools ADAT interface with some other ADAT hardware? My 3 PC setup with the HDSP 9652 looks sort of like: spdif |---------> Pod Pro | Pro Linux GigaStudio Tools <====> HDSP <====> Reaktor 9652 Linux ^ | headphones |=======> A/D/D/A --> monitors It works pretty well, but lately I'm dealing with a small number clicks and pops getting through the HDSP 9652 using clocking over ADAT. I think I'm going to move to some sort of Word Clock solution.
