A Lucid GenX6 gives you 6 WC outputs. Adding a Lucid CLK-6 gives you another
6 WC outputs, but you lose one GenX6 output to connect to the CLK-6 so you
end up with 11 clock outputs total. I'm not really convinced that using
clock regenerators is the best of solutions, but it may work for you.
As far as Mytek gear goes, I was also using the WC output of a Mytek Stereo
96 A/D converter for my house clock until it went south on me. I can no
longer get reliable sync from this unit (it still clocks reliable to the
Lucid GenX-6) and I've also got a Mytek Stereo 96 DAC that has quit
functioning properly. The s/pdif inputs no longer work, thought the optical
input still works. I'm getting ready to ship them *both* back to
Mytek.........Mytek gear sounds great, but I'm not really impressed with
it's reliability at this point.
Rosendahl makes a clock module that has 12 outputs.
