First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

I went for Lynx page to see if they have a low profile version of my tested Lynx 16 card and see what I discovered…
This might be very interesting devise as Lynx is very serious company and who know – they can do something new and true great. ...

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 incredib...

[quote user="manisandher"] I've wanted to do this comparison for a while now. Apart from just not having the time recently, the biggest obstacle has been not being able to use the Pacific in Master mode above 96KHz. As you know, it will only output a...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...

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 t...

I asked Romy the following question:
I'm contacting you because I own a Pacific Microsonics Two that I'm planning on using to playback high resolution digital files. I'm now in the process of choosing a platform, card and playing software. I k...

[quote user="jtavan"]As Tony points out, there are some digital cards with supposedly good converters in them. The Lynx Studio LynxTwo or Lynx L22 cards are said to work well. But the computer IS a very noisy environment, and the idea of conver...

[quote user="Telstar"] 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 di...

After hearing what a well designed FM station recording setup could deliver I became a believer. The question was what would be the cost involved to implement a good setup. After doing some research on the cost of Romy's components to capture fm br...

I was in a similar situation , the problem seems easy but its very time consuming . Other problem is moores law , so when you try to find very silent technology one could have trouble in the slots in the motherboard with his actual hardware . Like ha...

Romy, I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.
In your current setup, you are using the internal Lynx wordclock. In this case, the Lynx may well 'shut down' the external BNC wordclock cable. But that's not what I'm concerned with.
W...

[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

All:
Having used a Lynx L22 card for my primary playback system, I can tell
you that it is one fantastic sounding card. I used it for a
little over a year, and eventually I deferred once again to my favorite
non-oversampled DAC from Scott...

My personal DAW solution with external super A/D and D/A converters is in a way ridicules and it more reflects not a need but rather my unhealthy desire to play with margins of possible. Well, perhaps it is a need but it is my own need and I do n...

Hi, Max.
When you say “WAV file X burned on CD-R” then the question would be what was the source of those files? If you have a row source with some kind of A/D and if you intend to stay with 44 then 44/20 is OK format, do not stay with for 16 Bit. H...

[quote user="Telstar"] I meant that the Lynx digital output may retain some noise from the computer, not that you get noise from the onboard soundcard (provided that you have one -You have onboard audio disabled in the bios, have you?) [/quote] OK, I...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The problem is that I detect that if I record in 44/24 or 88/24 in single-wire mode but the second wire is connected from Lynx to Pacific (and the line is muted by Lynx mixer) then I do have worsening of sound quality. The ...

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...

It is not a problem I guess if used it as it is it was intended – as a mastering processor but as a A/D, D/D, Reference Master Clock processor that work with any sampling rates and resolutions it is it kind of a bit pain in ass. I do have a number o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Lynx has internal dabbler that activated as soon dual-wire inputs activated. So, when Pacific outputs in dual-wire configuration a half of the sampling speed then is done in accordance to the dual-wire specification.[/quote...
