| Thank you G. This is very helpful. It didn’t even occur to me to use PC w/Lynx card could as a standalone converter, and that sounds like a great idea.
As I have never had a need (nor used) anything other than Lynx analog ins/outs, and always within a DAW, I was wondering how would you set this up to be used outside a DAW, or would this even require any special setup on the PC/Lynx end other than connecting devices via s/pdif and selecting correct digital I/O format in Lynx mixer?
And also, I assume that you are using Lynx as an ADC-only in this setup , i.e. going into Lynx via its analog inputs, and out via Lynx digital out into your M-audio Firewire interface, and then your M-Audio interface is used for monitoring via its analog outs (or headphone amp)? The way I understand it is you cannot have both two digital and analog ins active on this card at the same time, which would then mean that the Lynx card couldn't be used as the DAC simultaneously.
Any latency problems associated with the use of multiple computers/interfaces or any potential signal degradation issues one should worry about?
Yeah, I wish Lynx would release a firewire version of L22. I suspected that there was nothing else in this price range that would give me comparable quality and work with MacBook/iMac.
