.. or take them out of context .

How long ago was the Lynx 2 review? I would guess before the 1820M came out about 18months ago.

I would have also thought that familiarity is the whole point. And in very review I have read, when he compares to the 1820M the 1820M is better (except for AudioFire).

Everything else being equal, it at least tells you that the 1820M is a leader.. we're not talking massive sonic benefits by spending more money.

So maybe they use sub-"pro" components, and we all agree corners have to be cut, but maybe every other manufacturer does the same thing? Until you get into Lynx L22 and RME - but what EMU have that these dont is a massive company behind them for marketing, distribution and I suspect .. software development.

and the 1212M is £129 in real money... should be something like $100 I suspect
