I thought this would be useful info to share with the group per the original
post of April 27:

LynxTwo series cards(various analog i/o configurations) with the LS-ADAT
expansion board work the way one would expect. I can acheive sample
accurate synced from PARIS to Cubase via ADAT sync(9-pin D-type)/ASIO
positioning protocol. The main thing I want to achieve is a 2 really good
pro level A/D D/A convertors on my Cubase box and still be able to use PARIS
convertors or sync the two boxes if I wanted. I wanted to do all of this at
a reasonable price.

I ended up getting a used L22 (2 analog i/o). Lynx convertors seem quite
good and the support from Lynx is the best I have ever experienced from any
kind of music company. All and all, I was able to make this upgrade for an
addition $250 after selling my RME.

So the bottom line: there is another option for sample accurate sync besides
RME.

Cheers,
John

Hi,

It's been a couple years since I have posted. I am currently using an RME
card to sync a Paris computer to a Cubase computer via ADAT. It works
great. I am looking to get a Lynx card for the AD/DA conversion
quality/simply my setup when I am using Cubase only. and I would like to
sell the RME card to offset the cost/consolidate things. I'm certainly not
going to ditch the RME if that is the only thing that works, but if someone
else has ever successfully synced a Lynx to Paris via ADAT, please let me
know. I searched the other posts, but I couldn't find any mention of this
sync.

Cheers,
John

Chris,

Thanks for all the info. I appreciate it.

I was actually talking about the LynxTwo or L22 card with the addon LS-ADAT
card which has light pipe I/O and an ADAT sync in port (9-pin D-type). I
didn't know if that was something that would actually sync to PARIS or not.
It sounds like it won't work even though.

The Aurora is out of my price range and I just looked up the Micstacy and
that is twice as much as the Aurora.

The main thing I want to achieve is a 2 or 4 really good pro level A/D D/A
convertors on my Cubase box at a reasonable price. That way I wouldn't have
to use PARIS for Cubase only projects. If I could sell my RME card and
still
get ADAT sync, that would better.

I have read a lot of good things about the Lynx convertors comparing well
to the more expensive Apogee, Lavry, etc. Of course, I have never heard
any of these convertors. I would say if the sound as good as the PARIS
convertors,
that would be great. If I noticed for whatever subjective reason they could
sound better than PARIS, that would be even better.

So I guess back to the original question with more specifics: Has anyone
synced the PARIS ADAT sync out to a Lynx LS-ADAT sync in which is hooked
into a Lynx Two or L22?

Also, does anyone have any thoughts about Lynx convertors compared to other
stuff in that price range like the RME stuff or whatnot?

Thanks,
John
