Interesting thread. I was just looking at all the interfaces listed. At first, I was going to get the MF2. Then I read more and found that the converters are actually CODECs. They sound good, but not great. Next, I decided I should get the FF800, but after a lot more investigation, realized that it might not cut it for super low latency work, like tracking BDF live with a drummer. So, I figured I needed to stay with a PCI based solution. I ended up getting a Lynx Two C. Great converters and capable of the lowest latencies of any card.

I'd be interested to know what Scott's issues are with the Lynx.
