The thing that makes some sense to me is that with the scott nixon you rip music onto hard drive and eliminate any moving parts (being the transport) thus eliminating chances of any jitter.Your thoughts?
Follow Ups:
L22 using PCI, while Nixon using USB bus. PCI bus is most high speed than USB. Most jitter is came from bus handling. PCI bus is more efficient than USB when playing music but inconvenience when plug and unplug.
With both the Lynx and Nixon your playing back files from your PC.
NOt sure what you are saying, I mean if you rip something, why would the Lynx be any different?Also, I think that the elimination of jitter is optimistic at this point, no matter which way you go.
The sound described by the other poster here is very accurate of the lynx. It is not tubelike, and it is not solidstate sounding either. It just seems like it lets the music through.
