Does the dac8 stereo use different clocks for 44.1 KHz and 48 KHz systems?

You can use wires connection the pins on the XLR socket pin by pin accordingly. Just to make sure different channels are outputting the same output otherwise you would short out the outputs (won't do harm but you get low output level)

Can’t we just use a 4 to 1 XLR cable to connect the XLR sockets?

I may see a problem with that.The outputs are not exact duplicate of one single output since the digital-analogue conversion is done separately for each input.

That’s the point. The intended signal is the same but the noise is different so uncorrelated noise averages out lowering the noise floor.

As you own the dac8 pro, I would really appreciate if you could confirm that option 3) does work?
I looked into it for you, but mine is so tightly nestled into the rack now that getting at those bits would be prohibitive.
Perhaps someone with a fresh stand alone one not yet 'embedded' could try it?
OR, WHEN/IF I get the correct, proper rack mount ears from Pavel I could do it then....

I haven’t received mine yet but looked at the manual. If appears that you can assign the same input to multiple outs, so that would be the simplest solution.

No problem, thanks for having tried! :)
