Re: Can't get Layla24 digital inputs working with jack

[Jason Jones <poeticintensity@xxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I'm currently using a RME Raydat w/ word clock module.  I have two pres going into a RME ADI-8 QS Converter, and 8 pres going through a Focusrite converter.  Not sure I'm doing it right, but I simply put the wordclock connectors from raydat out to QS in, and raydat out2 to focusrite in.  Seems to be syncing (and locking) just fine.  No problems with jack, either.

Not sure what I'd do if I needed to connect a 3rd converter, as there are only two wordclock connections on the raydat.

Apologize to the OP. So using ADAT + a wc sync, as the OP does, is a
benefit?!
If so, I should get a RME Word Clock Module (WCM). That won't make the
ADA 8000 a better device, but at least phases between the RME and the
Behringer (or some better ADAT devices) would be clean.

Just for the record. SPDIF and ADAT can sync two or more  e q u a l
sound devices?

they don't even need to be equal. anything that can share a sample clock can be made to run in perfect sync. ADAT clock has some issues, in my experience. S/PDIF clock is better. Word clock is best.
