Personally I've never had any outboard gear to use that will test this out so I can't help with you that. But, there is an ADAT in/out that you could use to support an extra 8 channels of 24bit @ 44.1/48kHz audio from another digital source. The only thing you'll have to watch out for is that your 2 units are synched properly, so you'll either have to use the ADAT sync in on the MOTU or use a world clock device.

As far as how well it actually works and if you can use all 8 analog channels and the 8 ADAT channels at the same time, who knows until you try it out.

Maybe you should rent the unit for a week first before you make the purchase to ensure that it works the way you want it too

Cheers,
Tim
