In Reply to: Need help choosing a sound card posted by Yoav on October 29, 2004 at 23:13:23:
The LynxTwo is pretty much as good as it gets as far as traditional 'sound cards' go.To get better, you're going to have to move up to a true studio-grade multichannel recording rig, and you'll have to look at using pretty expensive external converters. You're probably going to be limited to 96kHz, which realistically is all you need anyway IMHO - if you're doing your own filtering you can simply ensure that you brickwall at 40kHz.
It looks like a viable package would be the Lynx AES-16 along with the Apogee Rosetta 800. You'd run AES/EBU to the converter, and it would give you 8 channels of output (add another Apogee if you need 16 channels). By slaving the Lynx to the Apogee, you ensure that the D/A stage uses the local Apogee clock, making jitter a non-issue. As a bonus, you'd also get 8 channels of A/D for applying your filtering to analog multichannel inputs like SACD. The package would be a bit under$3.5k for the 96kHz and a bit under $4.5k for 192kHz capability. I've never heard any of this gear, but I suspect that if this isn't good enough, then you'll be looking at custom hardware.
