Sorry, but what about Metric Halo MIO? Definately an incredible converter with drivers you can only dream of!

Guys I'm asking myself the exactly same question, except that I have to choose between :

RME FireFace 400 /800
Lynx Aurora 8 /16
Mackie Onyx 400F
Focusrite Saffire

What's the one known to be the most stable, and the most cpu lightener ? And what's the won that gives you the best possibilities for routing your audio ?

lynx crushes the competition... better than apogee and concidered pretty close to most high end converters... if you're going the aurora route, you get enough i/o's which is the only reason i ditched my L22 card... i have rme now and happy with it, but it's definitely not lynx.

Thats y i was gonna do the rme 9632 n 9652 n use em wordclock sync; but my mentor (old white demigod of mixing) told me lynx is the way to go if im gonna front that much dough.

fireface has awesome converters and way less $$$$. with the lynx, you need to buy a pci-card as well.

yes the ls adat card will work with the L22. all of the lynx 2's have the same converters. the aurora has new converts and they sound ridiculously crazy. to me they sound just as good or better than the lavry blues. and it's a better value. it's hot.

Aight I got that 9652 shipping by friday, firefaces are on back order so I may still cop 1 I don't know. But what else I need to use this card becuase it has no analog inputs.

I wanted 8 channels of da shit aka best for the pocket via lynx aurora 8 n if the dough proper then the 16, but I need something for now to get a decent aka damn I can work with this for now via 8 channels.

Also what's the wordclock joint I hear bout what does it mean and do, is it like smpte clock or something and do I need 1 of those lucid wordclock joints to benefit this.

Thanks

Lynx have a special cable now to interface the L22 to the Aurora.

I think this is not comparable! If you compare RME, Lynx, Apogee and Metric Halo (to be platform independent) you may be in the same area of audio quality. I know and like the tools of Focusrite and Mackie but these units are not in the same league of the four above!

When it comes to the sound of the converters i would say:

RME = transparent and crystal clear
Apogee and Lynx = Flavour and extra glue
Metric Halo = Between them: Transparence with some glue (To me so mmmmh!)

Oh by the way: I am not a trader and not working for any of these comapnies!
