ANother sync/clock question

Any help here would be appreciated as I've not had to worry about this stuff much before.

I've been running a Tascam interface with an ADA8000 and a Lexicon MPX-500.
Tascam is set as master, the ADA takes clock from the tascam over adat and the Lexicon takes clock from the tascam via s/pdif. Simple.

Now I've replaced the Tascam with an RME 9652 and added a soundcraft spirit 328 digital console.
All this stuff arrives mid-week, so I've been looking at ways to hook everything up in sync.

I've been through the 328 manual and there is no reference to it being able to accept clock via adat.
But maybe it can. Why wouldn't it?!

I was thinking:

RME as master, sending clock to 328 over adat, Lexicon attached to 328 via s/pdif, and ADA takes clock as before from RME adat out.

But this will only work if the 328 does actually take clock over adat, and it sends that clock signal on to its s/pdif outs.
Two rather large assumptions at this point.

Or will I need to make a bnc connection between the rme and the 328, and have the MPX attached directly to the rme s/pdif connections?

I can't order cables until I know what I need
