The MOTU LP32 is a digital mixer with 4x TOSLink inputs and 4x TOSLink outputs. All of these can be configured as stereo S/PDIF.
I would like to use it as a mixer for 4x stereo consumer S/PDIF devices (like PCs and gaming consoles) and output to 2x stereo consumer S/PDIF devices (a DAC and a Bluetooth transmitter).
Will this work, or am I going to have clock synchronization issues?
I don't really understand how clock synchronization works when multiple S/PDIF sources are mixing into one device. Does clock synchronization only matter between each source and input, or do all the sources need to be synchronized to one master clock (which will be impossible since these consumer source devices have no dedicated word clock inputs/outputs)? Also, will the source->mixer->output device sequence be a problem, since that's three S/PDIF devices daisy-chained?
