But Flo does get sample accuracy :D or was he floing?!

Is there no dealer near to you, who enables testing?
For my RME to ADAT sync by ADAT, not WC, is audible, if I use one IO
from the RME and the other from the ADA8000. I wouldn't use it that way,
but I guess sync between the MFs could be much better. Somebody from RME
would use such a combination (RME AIO + ADA8000 one IO from each
device), since it's still like moving a microphone a little bit.

Tastes differ!
