DX32 in use with SQ5

Keith,
I have been trying to wrap my head around efficient use of my 8 new Prime I/Os and to that end I have two DX32 questions;

  1. Are the DX32-M-Ain pres Digico “D” pres or are they identical to the DX168 pres? A lot of the elements in the DX32 and prime pres appear to be Digico.
  2. Do you have specific spacing recommendations for heat dissipation with the Prime pres in the DX32?

I will either be adding 8 DX32-M-A-ins (if they are identical to my DX168 pres) or buying a DX hub. I already have 20 Digico 'D" pres in my Digigrid/Waves rack: They offer a different sonic signature when compared to the D-Live pres in my DX168.

Can DX32 connect to DX168?

Can DX32 connect to DX168?

DX32 is limited in regard to the connection possibilities. No daisy chain mode.
