Cheap Z-Link cables!

On Amazon.ca, or a different site if you're somewhere else. I paid 15 Canadian for two of them after shipping. They're getting hard to find!

But is Z-link cable not simply firewire cable ?

[tlaskows]

Yes, it is! But these are cheap and work great. My adat cables were more expensive and they are causing issues. Like loose connection.

I like Z-Link over adat anyday! The timing for 8 channels I/O runs the full 32-96k, with no loss of channels above 48k as is done with adat/smux. There is no need for a word clock, as it's built in to the protocol.

Use z-link whenever you have the opportunity! (which I think is limited only to a A16, but still...)

[tlaskows]

Yes, I like it so far. No more loose cables and crackling because of it! I don't need more than 16 channels yet, probably never will. I only have 3 hardware synths right now, some have multi outs. The A16 Ultra is the best. The sound quality is top notch.
