With an external WC generator and cables running directly to each
piece... seriously, it would be the best solution. T-adapters are not
reliable.

Dave is right about this. No daisy chaining. If you don't have enough WC
outputs, get yourself a Lucid CLKX6.

I have a different story...

Connect an T adapter to second MEC (slave) WC input,
another T adapter to audiofire WC input.

Without T adapters on first and last device.

Now connect wordclock from MEC A (master) WC output thru
T adapter on the second MEC then thru T adapter of the audiofire
and end up in WC input of layla.

You can switch places of layla and audiofire if needed for shorter
cable runs... Btw, as the chain is shorter - the beter!

At first, try without any termination.
Put paris to "internal sync" and layla and audiofire to
slave/external/wordclock. (very important!)

I have had very similar setup for years without any digital sync problems.
Infact, my setup was a little more complicated...

It was 2xMEC + 2xRMEhdsp9652 + TC electronisc M3000.
All in wordclock chain and all conected digitally and perfectly
synced + adat sync to cubase. Without termination.
Complete chain was about 6 meters long.

Now I have 4xEDS and 4xMEC, and that is a totaly different story.... ;-)

If you consider some sync problems and clicking, try to terminate
first and last device adding T adapters and 75ohm terminators...

The fact is that it worked for me for years!
And remember, it's crucial that everything but your master MEC is
set to WC slave.

....and use quality cables.

Cheers.
