z-link to adat converter?
an original A16 Ultra.
sp/dif and aes/ebu are EXACTLY the same, except that aes/ebu is +4 professional level and sp/dif is -20 consumer. it's VERY easy to convert one to the other. HOSA used to make a cheap converter.

Some devices (like my RME) are buffered enough and tolerant enough to variance in impedance that you can connect XLR to AES on one end, and connect the SPDIF connection to the interface. Make SURE this is in the documentation first.
I have 1 Scope PCI system, and 1 Xite system. Both are connected to the rest of the studio through a variety of wordclock (useful when more than 1 pair, not necessary for just AES/SPDIF and ADAT), adat, analog and network (RTP, Rednet, etc) connections. Scope runs like a dream on a quadcore 2015 Xeon and can still host bidule with the occasional plugin just fine, freeing me up to use anything from a 56core Xeon desktop (my 3D rig) to a 16core AMD 5950x (my visuals rig) to a laptop to a tablet or phone alongside Scope. Recommended.
