Gene, I don't know that it sounds better. It does sound a bit different as
the converters on the boxes add their own character. The dinosaur converters
in that old R-880,the PCM-91 and the Sony can add some flavor to a track or
a group. The reason I'm doiing it is primarily because I integrate so many
other outboard devices into my mixes that don't have digital options and
keeping as much of my signal path digital as possible (especially parallel
send FX that will process multiple tracks) when integrating 8-10 (or more)
analog processors and the AD/DA conversions this involves give be a bit more
openness when the entire mix is summed. There is a bit of apparent veiling,
especially using the AD/DA's of the Lexi PCM-91.
As far as syncing the MADI to external WC, I'm sure it can be done. People
do it all the time on the Nuendo forum. that's MADILAND if you're needing
questions answered. For some reason, I've got some kind of problem though.
I'm currently using two 75 ohm BNC cables for my to/from the ADI 648 and the
MADI card. I'm going to order a duplex optical MADI cable and see if this
changes some things. There's a lot of stuff clocked here and I'm still
trying to get my head around how the MADI card converses with the ADI 648.
There are a few variables that are possible and this could be the reason.
Using the MADI card as master isn't a problem for me. The clock is excellent
and the syncing of all these devices is rock solid )pretty miraculous
considering the number I'm using). I needed to get this system up and
running this weekend and I don't have time for more experimentation right
now. If I get this resolved, I'll let you know.

OK, so you've got the samplerate issue covered with the (ahem!)
Behringer convertors, but what about bitstream rate? If you're
recording at 24 bits, and some of the older convertors on your
outboard gear are 12 or 16 bits, does that make any difference?
From a technical point of view, I mean.
