Hi, so I've have never been able to get these two to play nice together. I had a 2 computer setup prior with Paris in one box and Cubase in the other, had the same issues then, 20 secs of slop followed by loose lock.
Current setup:
-I have both Paris and CubaseSX3 in the same box, I7 Quad
-CW Pulsar card with the syncplate
-ADAT serial sync cable from MEC ADAT card to Pulsar sync plate
-Pulsar patchbay properly setup, set to slave, ext adat sync
-In Cubase, set to audio sync (forget the exact name)
When I hit play in Paris, Cubase will start to roll but it slops all over the place for about 20 seconds and eventually seems to line up somewhat.
I'm pretty sure its a pulsar card/syncplate issue.
Anyway, so I found a good deal on the Frontier Dakota card, is anyone else achieving sample accurate, dependable sync with CubaseSX/Paris in the same box using dakota?
Thanks
Rob_A

I have no idea if that's some sort of driver, Pulsar or Cubase issue, but my RME takes a fraction of a second to cue to ADAT sync incoming from PARIS, and it locks Reaper 100% solid as a rock.
Your PC's *way* above the spec needed to run another DAW happily at the same time as PARIS (your PC kicks my PC's butt) so I wonder what the culprit is?

Yeah, I'd definitely download Reaper and give it a shot - it's a free download, and it will at least tell you if the problem's with Cubase or not. Here's the link to the current version, and this is the (very comprehensive) user guide. Post when you've got it and I'll walk you through setting up the ADAT sync if you need help (although it's pretty easy).
I have two RME cards, but I only use one for ADAT sync - it's a 9652.
