Does anyone know if it is possible to use 1 ADAT converter for inputs only and another for outputs only, syncing both devices via wordclock coaxial input?

I have a UA Apollo with a UA-4710d Quad preamp. The 4710d does not have any outputs from DAW obviously, however I do use ADAT connection for connecting to my apollo. I need a couple more outputs from my DAW for separate monitor sends. Could I have the 4710 connected to the ADAT input on my Apollo and an old ADA8000 I have laying around connected to the ADAT Output of the Apollo? I would connect the 4710 and ADA8000 to the Apollos word clock?

Cheers
 
Try this:

4-710 ADAT out connects to Apollo in. Apollo out connects to ADA8000 in. All ADAT cables.

4-710 is master, Apollo set to ADAT sync, ADA8000 set to ADAT sync. The apollo should send clock on the ADAT out that the ADA8000 can sync to.

That should totally work. Cheers!
