Unable to connect more than 2 buffalo III to one exau2i

Hello.
I am trying to setup a 6 channel active setup using a exau2i and 3 buffalo III with 3 IVY-III's.
When I connect the DCK, everything works until I connect a third buffalo. Then, I get noise and crackling, but only when there is content playing.
Is there a limitation on the exau2i that I don't know about? Is there anything I can do to make this work?
If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thank you!
-Kei

The exa may not be able to drive that many gates. You may need a buffer.

Thanks Russ.
I was able to figure it out.
For some reason, the power supply for the exa being from one source was an issue.
I'm not sure if this is a good thing, but tying the three buffalo's 3.3v together was the key to getting lock.
Please let me know if that setup is not safe.
Thank you.
