Motu 8pre -> Mixer

Hello.
I'd like to take advantage of the preamps on the 8pre and run them directly into a mixer. Is there a way to split the optical output into respective channels or is there a (rackmount) mixer that will accept these as input and split the channels?
Thanks!

There are digital mixers that can process 8 channels of ADAT separately to line outputs.
The MOTU 2408 (all versions) can do this in stand alone mode. An 828, 828mkII or 828mkIII likewise.
Behringer has their ADA8000, a one trick pony designed for this very purpose. $199 street price from most online vendors.

You rock, thank you!
In standalone mode, can I still run the 828mk3 firewire out to a computer?

Thanks.
Stand alone mode, by definition, is not connected to the computer
OTOH, using CueMix, you should be able to route the signals however you like when connected to the computer.
Here is a link to the available hardware manuals.
