How to expand the number of inputs to the sound Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56?

How can I expand the number of inputs on my Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 sound card? I heard that it is possible through ADAT, but I don’t know how. And is it possible to connect one more such card in series, well, or from the same series?

You need one more card or preamp with adat, you link them with an optical cable. In the settings of your card, turn on the adat port, in daw you also need to make the adat inputs active. It's simple)

and the cards can be of different manufacturers?

I have a saffire 56 with Focusrite octopre II linked, but I think it should work with others too.

pick up any suitable according to requirements and budget
ADAT is a universal interface with full compatibility with ADC/DAC and other third-party digital devices having the same standard.
in the sync settings, the ADC being picked up should be set to "master".
it
is better to synchronize via WC, this is the most preferred option, especially in the case of optics!
any
adat should work, 8 channels at 48 kHz on one wire, on two respectively 16 channels at 48 kHz
in multiplexing mode, adat operates on 4 channels at 96 khz on each wire (but then both units must have support for SMUX and the actual frequency of the discr. 96k)
