First, I admit that I never heard the Nixon. I bought the Lynx L22 based on a few posts here. I bought it from Zzounds which allows you to return it in within 30 days if you don't like it.It needs a few hours break in -20 or so- and has what I would call a highly resolving sound with a very low noise floor. It is not harsh but it is not rolled off or tube-like. An added plus is that you can record and play back files at up to 24 192. I recorded a few SACD'S at 24 96 with it using my Kern-modified Sony scd777es. I could not tell the difference from the original.
I suggest trying the Lynx and returning it if you don't like it before you buy the Nixon.
