For years, I have been using a German workstation called TripleDAT, and I do
this regularly via the SPDIF connections from their proprietary audio I/O
Soundcard.  Switched through my Z-SYS router, I can make any number of sets
of routing connections and save them for future recall.

Although CEDAR Cambridge is digital I/O, (either SPDIF or AES/EBU) I use an
A/D - D/A box in addition to the SPDIF routing.  I can go out to CEDAR from
the sub masters on my board (through the A/D-D/A box) and back in via a pair
of pots on the board.  I can also use the router and go directly digital from
a DAT or CDr or other digital source or have TripleDAT play a file, route
it elsewhere and record the result simultaneously.
