Hi Bibo,
thanks for your clear statement.
That ist basically the ranking that seems to crystallize from the whole discussion I've had here and elswhere meanwhile.
Dawnrazor is strongly in favour of the expensive Lynx l22, and he's most likely right if I consider what I've heard so far and that he has tested it extensively himself.
At the moment I'm trying to decide if the RME 9632 (which is lying at my home unused) is really auditibly worse than the Lynx via analog out or if it might only have a different sonic personality. Spec-wise they are both pretty similar. Especially do both offer an AES/EBU connection for later perfect external clock synchro (if I've got it right) in case a DAC should ever come into my mind...
And from what I've heard RME's drivers should be okay. The RME obviously hasn't been used/tested as extensively as the Lynx, though.

YOu keep saying you have the rme just lying around.
why not give it a try??
And FWIW bibo01, Play-mate and myself have all used the lynx 2b which is a multichannel version of the l22 with a cmp2 setup. You can do better than the Lynx but if you think the Lynx is expensive, then wait till you see what better costs...
No one here remembers the bending of our minds
My list was not necessarily a ranking.I had both RME and Lynx. I preferred the second.
However, you pay a premium for 1 and 2 for added flexibility. 3 or 4 are also very good. You can also add an external DAC at a later date and use them digitally at maximum frequency.
PS: Leif (play-mate) was wrong, KS can be bit perfect in XP.

Aha, all insiders over here... ;-)
WHAT did you like better (from your very personal, subjective point of view) in the Lynx than in the RME?
How do you realize bitperfekt kernelstreaming under XP? Is there anything specific to adjust?
