Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: I could really use a DAC suggestion!

Hi Dawnrazor,

Most likely. I'll try it. It will be a very easy thing to do. I'll run the digital out from the Lynx into the Audio Aero digital input, and a pair of analog outs from the Lynx into the Audio Aero analog input and make a comparison between the two. The analog inputs of the AA doesn't convert analog to digital and back again so I should be able to compare the merits of each DAC and more precisely see what affect the tubes in the output stage of the AA have. I'll also try going from the Lynx into a different tubed preamp and see what affect it has. I'll let you know.

By the way, if I haven't made this clear, the bass warmth of the AA is really a trade-off. It is the typical tube / solid-state argument when comparing the Lynx to the Audio Aero.
