Hi,

I want to upgrade from my Aardvark Q10. It's a very practical card
with good routing, volume knobs you can touch, mic pre-amps, D.I., and
so on. I'm very happy with it except for some aspects of the sound.
For instance, it has a poor dynamic range (read: hiss). Sound quality
is about on par with a Delta 1010; so, not bad but nothing special.

Anyway,I am considering an upgrade.I looked at the LynxTwo: less
practical than my Q10 but the specs look great. But it's a card over
two years old, which I think is a bit much considering A/D
developments. Is there anything out there that can beat the LynxTwo on
sound quality? I'm talking about PC soundcards, not standalone A/D
converters.

Thanks for your time.
