Also, just for good measure, and to make sure you're understanding the operation of the console, and any other DCA/VCA console:
The DCAs don't have any actual outputs on this console. You'll notice you can't assign them to send to the stereo or mono mix busses, nor does their "level" have any ability to be routed to a matrix. That's because audio doesn't actually flow through a DCA/VCA like it does a sub-group on a "group" console.
You'll notice that you can assign any channel to any DCA, but in order for that sound to come out of a speaker, the channel must also be assigned to one of the 19 other busses (mix 1-16, stereo, or mono).
Likewise, you can assign a channel to multiple DCAs, and it will function differently than assigning a channel to multiple groups. When you asign to multiple groups, bringing up both group faders will essentially double the output of that channel. However, when assigning a channel to multiple DCAs/VCAs, you must now bring-up both of those DCA faders for any sound to be passed through the assigned busses. This can have some pretty cool and powerful uses, and I assign to multiple DCAs just about every time I'm on a console.
I know that, currently, my M7 still sends audio out to the a-net card even when the DCAs are down. It is possible, and I believe
