Re: May the mouths waterIf the digital console you're splitting to doesn't have a network digital input (MADI, Ethersound, Dante, etc), then you're better off splitting in the analog domain before it hits the digital snake.The only snake system I know of that easily has the capability to break network digital audio back out to analog is the Roland S4000 system (which I own). Of course, the system costs about as much as an M7CL...so no one's buying it.If you are thinking that a digital snake head should have something like an analog pass-through, I doubt that's ever going to happen. Why would a digital console manufacturer add significant cost to their system for the 5% of people that would use the feature, when the 5% of people that would use that feature probably already have an analog splitter snake?
