There has been plenty of good things written about the Lynx Aurora DA AD converter, and how it beats the pants off the Digidesign 192. After much deliberation, I had to find out myself, particularly as the Aurora 8 is a fair bit cheaper than the 192. I’ve had the Lynx for a week, and yet to fully test the unit for a full tracking and mix.
My initial impressions are that the Lynx does sound a bit more laid back than the 192, high frequencies a little bit silkier and less forward. But I’m not sure that this is a positive, just different. Stereo imaging is a bit wider, but again, I’m not sure this is going to make or break a track. I’m tracking with the Lynx on the weekend, so this should be more revealing.
