Topic: Lynx sound cards

   Is there any other PCI or PCI express sound card that has the quality of lynx? I ran 300+ transfers through the M-Audio Delta 1010Lt and it was purchased used. It worked great. But since the days of that card I have bought a new Amp...the Art SLA-1 and some old Cerwin Vegas. I feel this set up needs some good clean sound going to it. Not to mention I am Working through 200 DAT masters and 100 or more Cassette masters as well. I need A card that will not Do me wrong. If anyone has some input that would be great. Thanks!

Any bit-perfect soundcard will work just fine for your DAT transfers.  Analog transers and playback are another story.  You're best off performing analog-to-digital (for cassette transfers) and digital-to-analog conversion (for playback) outside the computer.  Do you have an ADC or DAC at your disposal?  What's your budget?

   I picked up the Edirol m10-dx Its a great little unit for A/D conversions and it also runs on 8AA batteries. It's very cool at the shows we've run six mic mixes dumped into the MT2 but any way back to the sound card..... So about 300-400$ I need good clean (noise) free play back as well. So as far as the DAT transfers DAT deck via COAX into __________ sound card?  The the big Question is a noise free high end sound card that folks know works. Ive spent tons of cash on this stuff and its unfortunate that most of it is not built to last at any price!!  300-400$ would be MAX.  THANKS!!!!!
