Hi Hopefully soon I will get to do a shootout of the lynx against my echo audiofire 12. The price is around $500 for 12 in 12 out at 24 192 balanced +4/-10 switchable. It's a solidly constructed single rack unit with word clock in and out, midi in out and a built in power supply. There is no digital i/o. You can daisy chain up to three of them for 36 i/o. I got this unit because at this point I would rather spend money on preamps and mics.
