| If you are not using the Lynx DAC, how good it is really does not matter. Isolation from computer noise matters most IMO. While the Lynx is very good, I still believe you can get slightly better using a firewire interface as digital transport. Also Check the lenght of the cables. I think up to 5m is safe for firewire. I'm not sure about spdif (optical or whatever, these interfaces confuses me). You may want to try with a fireface 400 (i'm assuming you have a firewire controller). |

You are not exactly correct about Lynx. First of all my card had no DACs aboard it is just a digital I/O, channels re-mapper and the card’s software. Before I got the card I interviewed quite many technical people about the type of reprocessing that took place in digital I/O cards. I am not willing to pretend that I understand everything I was told but there is a LOT of what going on in digital I/O cards. What I was told about Lynx was the most convincing. Ironically he most details information I got calling to Lynx and to some of their competitors that produces the similar cards. I am not familiar with firewire for audio. You are saying that I can get the feed in and out of my DAW without audio card via firewire? Would it this case my Lynx card stop to override the “bad” sound card that sits in my motherboard? Something should run the clock of this thing…. BTW, Lynx permits itself to slave itself from my ADC clock…

For instance Linn records makes available test files in different resolutions and formats. Another site that has a (free) evaluation is this:

Yes, and they use the fundamentally faulty and inferior SACD as reference… Funny…

I think I will try the Orpheus Prism (they rent it, one day rent will do the job when my DAW will be ready). And something that Peter is working on. |

This Orpheus Prism is an interesting devise, I never saw it.

I hope those pro guys who made it had in their minds something more than the contemporary pro demands.
