HI Everybody

This is my first time ever posting after sneaking around on these forums looking at different things. Bit of back ground, Im a student in my Final year of college In South Africa. Im studying sound engineering, and have become quite interested in the whole capturing side of audio. I built a pretty good sounding pre amp last year using the THAT 1512 chip with a twist to enable me to use the THAT 1510 as well with a jumper. The phantom power supply was an issue, but im going to fix that this year

Anyways. I want to enhance and make the Pre amp into a functional unit this year. Its my final year, so I want to go out with a bang. Im looking at doing an 8 channel pre-amp that operates at 48kHz 24bit. Higher resolutions ill worry about at a later stage. On each input im looking to have individual phantom controls, different inputs (combo XLR Jack and line input) High pass filter with different bands, and a phase flip switch. One thing i would really like to do is to get this working with ADAT lightpipe so I can plug it into an ADAT expansion enabled audio interface (looking at getting the clarrett 8 pre later this year).

I have found a chip on coolaudio semiconductors, and Ive found a company in the US that will ship them to me. I have read the data sheet, and found that I need an ADC tie to this. I would either use the cirrus logic CS5368 or the Midas M8000. These are essentially exactly the same.

From my understanding according to the Data sheets, I connect the analogue audio from the differential amplifier to the pins (seen in the first screen shot). then connect the ADAT chip via the pins 11, 12, 13, 14 connected to pins 26, 27, 30, 31 from the M8000/CS5368 respectfully.

I am quite new to the converter chips as this will be my first time, but I think it should be easy enough to do. Am I right to assume the above connections? Also, if anybody could point me in the right direction in terms of more info on ADAT and SMUX as well as how to properly onnect these sort of chips up, that would be greatly appreciated. Please find attached a bunch of info and links to the chips.

On another forum I posted a 'diff' of the two datasheets. The Midas is not rated for Automotive temperature range and is not a 'first'; otherwise they are clearly cribbed one from the other and are very likely the same mask now licensed to Midas to keep it away from large competitors.

Sorry, the connection details are beyond me.
