And no other daw has had widely known problems with any other card, including
magix, which really; points at the lynx driver. The fact that after years users still
report their V1 driver to be more stable than V2; and have card order control;
is just an example on how their haven't solved their core issues or moved forward.
The fact that the problem couldn't be identified, or was not good publicity to release; doesn't make me feel any better about the issue being put to rest either.
Remember, I have multiple installs of the AES16, since they were released.
After 3 years of bugs and issues on more than 4-5 machines; I gave up.
At some point I was posting what a big PITA they were and somebody said;
Then shutup and buy a different one...And I figured, I was sick of betaing their
product and haven't had a lick of problems since I switched. |
Which is my main worry.
I already have a lot invested in Lynx, I have an AES16, the drivers are already installed (I hate swapping out drivers on a production machine), I have special cables made for my AD-16x and DA-16x converters and the cables are burred in my rack.
I have been SERIOUSLY considering making the jump to RME cards but that would cost me a chunk of change. First my AES16 card is not going to be worth as much now that the AES16e card is out, then I need 2 RME cards and all new cables plus I would have to get everything up and running in my system.
It sucks, I just wish the Lynx cards were more stable. If I get better stability and it sounds the same it might just be worth the pain now to make the jump.....
That is the fence I am on.
Anyway, is the AES16e available now? Anyone have a chance to use it yet?
