ADAT is a purely digital method of transporting audio that does not go through Converters. ADAT is ideal for sending tracks to multi track recorders, digital mixers, and getting audio from high end multi channel mic preamps. You'll have to get an interface with an ADAT i/o, but if you plan on using an analog mixer you do not need ADAT i/o.

If you want an analog system, reel-to-reel is the way to go
