Anyone have experience using ADAT to extend their Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (or similar devices)?

I can buy a used Focusrite Saffire PRO 40 for about 60Euro and wanted to use it to extend my Scarlett 18i20 to get a total of 16 Mic inputs, but I don’t have any experience with ADAT and would prefer not to buy something that’ll turn out to be a 60Euro brick.

    I have no idea what any of those things are. Which is not to say, you shouldn’t post this here, but a bit of context would be nice.

      Just trying to add extra microphone inputs (Saffire PRO 40) to my soundcard (Scarlett 18i20) and wanted to hear if there would be any problems connecting it all in Linux (using ADAT) before I bought the new interface
