I'm sorry Brett, next time I will make a very superficial summary (if necessary) of the original content to be more clear with your readers. I have not forgotten the license and I have mentioned only the information about secondary aspects of Hauptwerk. In fact Hauptwerk can help you reach the goal, however, it is possible to use other tools (hardware or software). I hope that you will appreciate the good intentions.
In any case, to avoid making unnecessary words I wanted to consider only the resampling in real time and it is certainly an advantage to do so with Hauptwerk (only ODF unencrypted and upsampling).
Of course, the implementations ( and fidelity ) are many and the main purpose is the integration of heterogeneous elements.
To be more explicit, I wanted to know if it is available a software solution for higher scalability at a lower cost.
It seems that the market leader in this sector is iZotope 64-bit SRC but it is not available as a realtime plugin. Only for the offline process...
The hardware solutions are more complicated to apply and less flexible. Generally synchronisation may be achieved via Wordclock or AES3id (AES11). For example, I use Echo Audiofire12 with two Lynx AES16e-SRC cards but it is quite uncomfortable.
Best regards
