How to use external converters w 828mk3

Post by backroads »

Hello everyone, I have some lucid ad/da 2496 converters and would like to use them with my 828 mk3.
just wondering on the proper hook up. AD converter has toslink spdif and coaxial rca/ aes/ebu and left and right xlr analog inputs. DA 2496 has xlr analog left and right output,toslink and rca spdif output. If I do the obvious and use the toslink
spdif and hook both of them together will I hook inputs and outputs to the converters or to the 828 mk 3. Will the mk
main outs or ins for that matter not be converted by it's own internal clock even when set to external. I also might lose use
of my cue mix fx as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. :D
