I am not yet using all ins but all outs and I am keen to make use of the digital AES out, converting it into analog.
The expander apparently only adds inputs and no outputs (the outputs on the expander are remote versions of the ones in the system, I believe).
Although @zfigz says there are solutions for less than 1000$, I have yet to find a simple solution that does just the “cable conversion” AES-2-Analog (no need to buy a recorder as well). I searched for quite a while an also asked Thomann and A&H for suggestions, with no result. There surely must be a 300$ adapter/converter? Any suggestions are much appreciated … likely that I am too stupid to search for it, but I did try for some time
