Danny, you are correct. The adapter is just to make the old digilink cables work with the new HDX card. AVID makes both genders of adapters so you can either use old digilink cables or the new mini cables and put the adapter on the Aurora 16-HD side instead of the HDX card side.

Danny, it really depends on how many channels you want to use. The HDX card is capable of doing 64 outputs (32 per DigiLink port). Each Aurora 16 can do 32 outputs (16 analog and 16 digital), so you could connect up a single Aurora 16 in 32-channel mode to each DigiLink port and that would give you 64 outputs (32 analog and 32 digital). If you don't plan on using the AES/EBU on the Aurora for anything, then you could daisy-chain the two Aurora 16's to a single DigiLink port with both Auroras in 16-channel mode. That would give 32 analog i/o and leave the second DigiLink port for future expansion.
