I am going to add another 8 channels of I/O to my RME Fireface 802 via ADAT and I have a couple questions.
-Is optical cable length a concern? I would like to run a 5 meter cable (around 16 feet) if possible.
-Is sync over ADAT a concern? RME support says that if audio is fine, that means sync is fine too.
With my current setup I am clocking the external ADAT preamp with a BNC cable, just out of superstition. I don't want to clock all the units with BNC because one of them has a fixed termination and with the respective positions of the units in the room it would be a lot of cable. Unless there's a way to daisy chain the wordclock even if that unit has a termination, but it's all above my pay grade...
