Need Some DA Help :-( :-)

So got some recording coming up. I need a decent DA for monitoring. So I thought I could get an Apollo 16 but then noticed it don't work with W7 & it got no ADAT so cant send thru my Motu PCI system. ( & whats with the redundant Madi goofiness. Shouldn't that have been ADATs?) Background being My Focustrite ISA's have got the fantastic AD cards installed clocked off an Antelope. Then ADAT to Motu PCI system into PC. So basically my DA monitoring sucks at the mo which I need to up-grade. So then I thought I could just get a Lynx Studio Technology Hilo-TB - Silver - Vintage King Audio but the only way to get a digital signal to it would be ADAT from the Motu setup but im not fluent enough with digital to say using ADAT out of the MOTU to the lynx or similar is good for a mix monitor DA converter. I actually would like to get the Apollo 16 but it dont tick all the boxes as how to connect to my W7 PC? So basically how is ADAT for master monitoring ? Would like to use AES to DA but the Motu box I got dont have AES. (Shouldn't the next GEN PCI UAD3 cards have TB adapter on it? Yes?) So thats my DA dilemma. (Maybe the Apollo 8p or Silver face is the Answer but just not enough AD channels for my taste but still would have to be ADAT for master DA monitoring unless I ditch the Motu all together?)

Next is front end. Even tho I got some good pre amps & mics.... Ive got the chance to get down on a Avalon 737 strip. Im thinking what mic would best compliment the 737 for Female Pop/EDM if anyone here has got a 737?

Many thanks,
