You are not exactly correct about Lynx. First of all my card had no DACs aboard it is just a digital I/O, channels re-mapper and the card’s software. Before I got the card I interviewed quite many technical people about the type of reprocessing that took place in digital I/O cards. I am not willing to pretend that I understand everything I was told but there is a LOT of what going on in digital I/O cards. What I was told about Lynx was the most convincing. Ironically he most details information I got calling to Lynx and to some of their competitors that produces the similar cards.

I'm sorry - I dont know all Lynx models. if it had a DAC, it didnt matter because you are just feeding the Lavry with its digital output.

I am not familiar with firewire for audio. You are saying that I can get the feed in and out of my DAW without audio card via firewire?

Correct.
You could replace the Lynx with a firewire soundcard. And see if it sounds better or not.

Would it this case my Lynx card stop to override the “bad” sound card that sits in my motherboard?

I meant that the Lynx digital output may retain some noise from the computer, not that you get noise from the onboard soundcard (provided that you have one -You have onboard audio disabled in the bios, have you? )

Something should run the clock of this thing…. BTW, Lynx permits itself to slave itself from my ADC clock…

Since the Lavry has a master clock, you should look into firewire devices that have a word clock input. I'm not sure about the Fireface, but the MOTU should have that.
