Sync Question?

As you can see from my signature I am running a 002R. I have a Rosetta 200 that I use for my main two i/o (vocals, instruments what ever). I also have a digimax 96 that I use to record my drum set.

Now in my understanding and limited expirience I have found that when recording from an ADAT source that device has to be the clock source in order for ADAT to properly sync with other digital devices(the 002R in this case).

Both the 200 and the digimax 96 have wordclock i/o on them. I am going to assume that this is for syncing to an external clock when using the AES outputs of the digimax at sample rates above 48k.

Now the question comes in: Can I wordclock the two devices together and sync my 48k ADAT output of the digimax 96 to my Rosetta 200?

Clear as mud right?

I don't have a 75 ohm bnc cable for this to try it but I will make or get one if it will work. It may not make any difference in sound quality to clock adat from the Rosetta but someone asked me the question and got me thinking. And I said "you know......................I don't know".
