Hey there, We also use an X32 (compact version) as our main studio console, along with the ADAT expansion card, and all our computers and the encoders are connected to it through their lightpipe "cables" and RME Digi9652 ADAT cards. Works like a charm, we are able to route in and out a lot of signals without them leaving the digital space until it becomes analog for FM transmission. Of course if we had the money, we would be fully eg. Dante, or any equivalent Ethernet-based audio link, but this compromise is good for us.
All this is quite affordable and fully supported on our Linux machines. Hoggins!
