In Reply to: RE: battery-powered cMP ! posted by play-mate on January 25, 2011 at 07:25:23
Hi Playmate,Reading Gstew’s (and others) reply on your post I asked myself:
Why stick too your Lynx Two B?
Clearly the Lynx Two B is the best available internal soundcard with multichannel analog outputs. I owned the 2 channel anolog out version L22 for a year or so. But your love for this card will put you on high costs when going ‘full linear’. Even ‘only’ going linear/hybride will give you much trouble and costs.
When you add up all the costs (money, time, energy) you need too invest for going ‘full linear’ with the Lynx Two B: is that really worth the trouble and costs?
But why not consider an high quality external 8 channel analog out soundcard like the Lynx Aurora?
The Aurora uses the samen converters as used with the Two B / L22). The Lynx Aurora external soundcard can be connected too your cMP, with use of an firewire - or USB card. (the LT-FW card or LT-USB) too be installed in the Aurora.This way you can go full Linear and/or linear/hybrid without any trouble/hassle and without (much?) extra costs.
The Aurora + FW card will cost: € 2.155,- (ex VAT). The Aurora + USB cards costs 241 euro’s les = € 1.914,- (ex VAT). See link below for pricelist Dutch Lynx distributer. Don't know the German distributor.
I’m still a fan of good old fashion Firewire. Provided you install a Firewire card with an Texas Intrument chipset (!) in your cMP setup. I’m (still not) a big fan of USB connections. But this might come some day.
I know this is al lot more money than your current Lynx Two B.
But I also red, you where considering spending 700 on an extra PSU.
So than it sprang too my mind: if you are willing too spend that much extra (and you than still will have a lot of extra trouble implementing this psu), you better sell your Two B
And buy an Aurora with FW or USB.Looking at the trouble ahead on your road for powering your cMP/TwoB-setup all linear (or even ‘only’ linear/hybrid), the external Aurora option may turn out too be the less costly manouvre in the end.
Just a thought (and calculation exercise) too consider.
Kind regards

I cant quite get my head around this. How can one go full linear with the Aurora? Are you saying that the internal psu IS linear? Otherwise I see no way outside of modding things how to get full linear.
No one here remembers the bending of our minds
Hi Downrazor,
I don't know what type of PSU is inside the Aurora-box.
I ment full linear for the cMP PC.

Playmate,I must agree with Mark.
I would prefer a Prism Sound Orpheus in place of the Aurora though. If you're lucky, you can find it 2nd hand.
By using a firewire DAC, it will be easier to make a linear PSU for your cMP.

thanks for you direct words, guys !
that´s by now a decided strategy.
I´m not sure if the financial situation will give away a prism or metric halo yet.
if in that price range, I would go straight for the DEQX, but I guess the aurora or the good old rosetta 800 from apogee could do the trick with a firewire interface.
my "acourate" FIR filter software program has not come to any results yet, as I´m waiting for the up-coming multi-channel ability of this.
new mainboard, processor, new SSD, two new linear power supplies, interface slots and firewire PCIe does all add up....:-)
how easy the world was, when you just had vinyl.....:-)
-anyone up for buying a lynx two-B card ???
