JP, that are funny settings. You source the clock from AES line but do lock it. I do not know at what rate you record but you’re A/D looks like output 88K, you card read 44K and it is not locked – a complete mess. Call to Lynx, they have incredibly good support and ask them what would be a prefer configuration for you and why.

HDTT, not so fast. ASIO do not sound better with Lynx. I have 5 or 6 different ASIO drivers and I experimented with them – not of them were better. They were not worse as well – it juts was no difference between use of Lynx’s WDM own native driver and ASIO drivers. BTW, neither ASIO nor WDM use Windows K-Mixer. I have chosen to use WDM  and never use ASIO because of a few reasons:

1)      More stable. I have a number of times when ASIO driver crashed.

2)      The WDM use less machine recourses

3)      Changes some of Wavelab setting and modes with ASIO require restart Wavelab.

4)      The same sound results.

If you know any better ASIO driver out there then let me know.

Hmm, I thought it was odd that the adapter showed 44.4k while my ad122 was set to internal crystal 88.24/24bit and da924 was reading 88.24 output.  Under the adapter menu in Wavelab the latency reads 44k and there seems to be no way to change that.  I guess a call to tech is in order.

I have experienced crashes either way with wavelab.  But it happens more frequently when Im experimenting and changing drivers. Otherwise, if Im just recording its pretty stable (5 hours straight) ASIO sounds better than using WDM or Lynx 1.  Using the latter sounds compressed and a bit gray. I used whatever ASIO driver came with wavelab 6. I have my buffer setting up to 1024 under advanced. A little bit about ASIO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Stream_Input/Output
