Greetings, looking to jump on the SQ system soon, and I had a few questions concerning IO.
First off, I am looking to keep backwards compatibility with my existing dSnake hardware, while also supporting DX Expanders, so I plan on ordering an SLink card along with my SQ7 so I can use gigaAce and dSnake simultaneously.
I am also wanting to have 8 channels (4 connections) of AES/EBU out of the SQ7 to eliminate a A/D-D/A conversion when connecting to my PA processor. From my reading, this would require a DX32. I have read some documentation that states the DX32 will not be supported until V1.4, however with reading some posts here, I’ve seen people mention using a DX32 with V1.3. Is the DX32 fully supported with an SQ7 as of V1.3? Any issues with using an 8 Channel AES/EBU card in a DX32 with a SQ7?
My proposed setup would be:
SQ7: SLink Port → DX32 (2 Analog Input cards, 1 Analog Output card, 1 AES/EBU Output card)
SQ7: SLink Card → AR2412
With future expansion/upgrade to:
SQ7: SLink Port → DXHub ->DX32,DX168, DX168
SQ7: SLink Card → No Connection.
Am I thinking through this correctly? Would both these setups work as of V1.3?
Thanks for the help!
