A multi channel DAW for multi channel playback/Recording or editing in combination with a MOTU traveler and a AD8000, I have that combination. Even linux can nowadays recognize the MOTU device with recent ffado driver.

To recover the ADAT you need a Behringer box (<200€} ... with 8 nice XLRs on it. So it looks as if you can easily / cheaply have 36-out. The Motu Traveller works nicely on a Mac, and if you use Jack you can see all your connections. (I say 'nicely' ... well once you get rid of the kids' toy idiocies ... my favourite is that my 'Pro' computer stops a multi-channel recording, for a few samples, as it urgently needs the processor ... to put up a screensaver ... great!)
