I am currently setting up my home hifi system and have decided against spending the $900 on a cd player that I initially intended on buying, and instead putting that money towards a sound card.
The Lynx two B has got piles of positive reviews so I am leaning towards buying that, however I would just like to know whether there is a similar card (or setup) that can provide me with the same audio quality without all the fancy pro features, since I am unlikely to be using them.
Any light on the matter would be greatly appreciated. |

It depends on your setup...
If you have nice receiver there is no such thing as audiophile card, unless you just mean "any expansive stuff" Or am I wrong?
If sound card output is to go straight into the analog input on the amp there are good cards from Auzentech, M-Audio or E-Mu too. |

Of course there is the:
http://www.presonus.com/firepod.html
which is definitely up there in quality. It also has enough ins & outs to really handle pretty much anything you throw at it. M-audio and E-mu have great ones too as well as Roland. Its really kind of just a matter of prefernce from there... There are many to choose from, please take a look at alot of them
