Or, as I stated above-on the second 8000, you use mic input to the 8000, ADAT out to ADAT in. and analog line out to the line ins, #'s 5-8, on the Digi. The 002, at least, only has preamps on channels 1-4. Channels 5-8 are line-in only. 9-10 by SPD/IF. Channels 11-18 by ADAT. So- what the second 8000 can do is give you preamps with mic ins for channels 5-8.
Yeah, that will work, but I'd shop for an alternative.
Seems a bit much to go a/d-d/a just to get use of half of another ada8000.
