Hi, i'd still like to use the PreOut feature when stepping up from D200 to D400/dual mono (headphone amp link).
From what i've found, the standard path seems to be a slave connection via AES/EBU input and thus "freeing" the stereo PreOut of the slave.
On the other hand, when using the standard master-slave connection via SPDIF (both "stealing" one of the PreOut outputs of each unit), there is the chance to configure the remaining PreOut output as a mono PreOut - which can be configured as left or right channel each => so there seems to be stereo PreOut split into two devices, still the chance to use slave inputs and the trigger cable for perfect standby mode (not possible via AES/EBU slave connection afaik).
(The configurator then shows "Sub" instead of PreOut/left/right etc.)
Did anybody try that, yet? Does it work? Any problems due to uncommon ground for both channels?
