my only concern is with the amount of digital deviced all hooked up, what are my chances of sync problems?

i plan on getting a mini me, and probably 2 lucid ad9624s, and one da9624. so thats 4 converter boxes, one digiface, and one digital format converter. 6 boxes. well i could get a wc. except the mini me has no wc inputs.

if i just sync all the devices off the mini-me, how good are my chances of a totally stable system?

or would i be able to clock all the other devices and then sync the mini-me off of them?

i dont know much about synching issues at all.
I think if you can evenly distribute the WC from either the mini-me or the Lucids, you will have a well-clocked system. Of course this is only necc. if you intend to be using them all at once, and if you are - you would have to have the mini-me be the master clock. A WC distribution box - which I think Lucid makes (GenX?) may be useful.
