Perfect parter for 16Rig
I own two of these (and two X8 outs). These are fantastic units and, when used with the 16Rig, integrate seamlessly with both the hardware and the software.
Because they are optical, you can actually use them to connect gear that is not close to your audio interface by using longer optical ranges (though I opted for longer audio cables and keep them close to the Audio Interface).
Sound is good, and the units are solid. If you have any combination of X8 In or Outs, you can screw them together to get a 1U-sized unit that can sit on top of a 16Rig or go in a rack.
A couple of notes:
1. They don't come with optical cables, so you need to purchase some. One per unit
2. If you are using one X8 In and/or one X8 Out, you do not need word clock or BNC to run them with your 16Rig; they will work with the clock sent via ADAT over the optical connection.
3. If you have more than two of any of the X8s, you will need to purchase 75 Ohm BNC Cables and T-Connectors and use word clock. Thomann has them, but they are pricey. They must be 75 Ohm, though; 50 Ohm does not work.
4. You can run 2 ins and 2 outs of the 16Rig at up to 48Khz for an outrageous amount of ins and outs in total. Enough to run a studio full of synths and drum machines without ever worrying.
Fantastic units. My only comment is that I wish they would bundle them with optical cables by default.
