He's asking about summing multiple channels of D/A down to one stereo pair. No standalone converter will do this. That's why summing boxes, summing mixers, DAW software and consoles exist.
You do not need an AES16 card in order to use the Aurora. The Aurora can work in standalone mode and do straight conversion without a computer. It will not however perform summing tasks. If you want to knock down multiple channels into one stereo stream in order to send that out to a CUE mixer or headphone amp, you would either need an external summing box OR you would do it as I described above using a DAW. If you go the summing box route, you're still going to need to change every track from digital to analog (provided that you are recording to tape) so the reality is you do it in a DAW.
