When using the HDSPe MADI the converters and the card are connected serially. RME rec-
ommends the usage of optical MADI cables. These provide a useful galvanical separation be-
tween the units, and are immune against any kind of electromagnetic interference. 
 
It is recommended to operate the card in clock mode Master, all converters synchronized to the 
MADI signal (Slave). This setup will allow for up to 64 channels with 4 M-16 DA. 
 
Despite serial cabling the playback is sample-synchronous between all units, because the con-
verters automatically activate 

Delay Compensation

. An additional word clock connection be-

tween HDSPe MADI and the converters is not required.
