Cowanrg,
I auditioned the Lynx and it was on my short list, until I decided that I didn't want my processing done in my PC. The inside of a PC is just way too noisey. The Power Supply in a PC just doesn't have the juice. Even my 1,200 watt Turbo Cool wasn't enough of a power supply to give me what I was looking for. (Power supplies are still the key to great sound, even in a PC). The Lynx is an awesone card. In my opinion, probably the best soundcard you can get. It didn't give me the soundstage, depth, resolution, retrieval of low level detail and air that I was looking for-in my system.
