Today I checked my ADAT cables and they were mixed lengths (3 and 2 meters), then I rewired everything with just 2 meter ADAT cables, and made the test (send 16 channels out, wait maybe 30 minutes letting it getting hot), and it still had dropouts - maybe less. The dropout only happened on channels 9 - 16 today.

Wordclock's apparently fine, the machine is definitely playing audio (also visible in RME TotalMix), and all buffers set very high (1024 ms).

I will get shorter cables ADAT tomorrow (1 meter) and in even shorter ones (0.5 meter) in a few days. Let's see if this fixes the dropouts...
