So my neighbour complained out of nowhere the other day after 15 years of peace (for me at least) about my 7 & 10 year old daughters jamming. Something to do with the Jupiter X into Yamaha 15” monitor that might’ve done it. ??
Anyway, I am suddenly feeling very wary of making any unnecessary racket so I’m going to get a nice pair of cans and do more mixing with them as opposed to just using my Questeds + Sub setup.
I’m thinking HD800S but I need a decent headphone amp (the Focusrite ones are nothing at all special). I run Protools/iMac with a Red Pro Line16 and I’m thinking about the Dangerous Music Source as my phones amp and monitor controller.
I use a Cranesong HEDD via spdf in/out for sending stuff out through outboard for mixing and for critical stereo tracking duties. Otherwise it’s my monitors and that’s all I’m using but I’m struggling to understand how I’d hook the 2 things up.
Would I just take the analogue outs from the RED into the analogue in’s on the Source? Or get some kind of Dante to analogue XLR converter thingy?? I’m confused about how best to do it after many years of keeping things very simple.
Here’s a pic of the rear of the RED. I’d be very grateful for any hot tips/knowledge!

Here’s the back of the Source. Hope it’s legible.

I’m not as familiar with the Crane Song AD/DA, but I use both a Red 8Pre (similar to Red 16Line) and also used a Red 8Line, with the Dangerous Source and now I use it with a D-Box+. I have separate AD/DA converters, the Convert AD+ and Convert-2 (D/A) in my chain so here’s my setup as far as connections and clocking.

AD+: (Word Clock Leader) SPDIF OUT connects to Red 8Pre SPDIF IN, WC OUT to Red 8Pre WC IN

Red 8Pre: (Clock Follower) Set in software to WC INPUT as clock source, WC OUT to CONVERT-2 WC IN, SPDIF OUT to CONV-2 SPDIF IN, ANALOG OUT DB-25 to DBOX+ Summing Input. Monitor Out L/R to DBox+ Analogue In L/R

CON-2: (Word Follower) WC OUT to AD+ WC IN CON-2 ANALOG OUT to D-BOX+ ANALOG IN to hear direct from these converters.

D-BOX+: USB for system audio or youtube etc. AES from AD+ for pre ITB FX monitoring.
*Also DBox+ has the same analogue and digital I/O connections as the Source, on rear, just with some additional summing and line/headphone outputs.

Again not as familiar with the Crane Song, but I would connect the AES IN from Source to HEDD AES Out, and connect your Monitor Outs from Red 16Line to Source. Would also use the HEDD as Word Clock Master and Slave interface to it. Since you only have 1 AES or S/PIDF digital I/O with the Source, you might have to aggregate it, depending on your needs. Hope this provides some help

Thank you man! I did figure it out in the end but have since moved house and am in the early stages of planning a studio build in the garden! Exciting times!
