Mark,
Thank you. This is not only looking very hopeful, it's looking affordable (at
least in an industry where $10k speakers systems are "reasonably priced" :) )
Question below.

Optical ADAT. The HDSP 9636 would be the master. There
would be two
optical ADAT cables going out, one to each DAC1. You would sync the
DAC1's to the ADAT signals. If you used the HDSP 9652 then you could
use the word clock outputs to sync. Aaron Trumm (www.nquit.com -
another LAU user) is selling an HDSP 9652 used if you want to look at
that.
hdspmixer would create the specific mix you are looking for - quite
easy to do really.
I see the clock outputs on the HDSP9652, but i don't see the
clocks inputs on
the Benchmark dac1 or the RME ADI-2. What am i not understanding?
I'm looking at them here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ADI2/ and
here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DAC1/
The specs of the RME ADI-2 look fantastic. It can even be powered by batteries
which is ideal for a truly silent music background and dynamics and it also
accepts 192k. Then again the Benchmark looks better :)
Thanks again.
