Lynx Studio Technology Hilo - Black
Two-channel AD/DA converter with 12 inputs, 16 outputs, headphone amplifier and LT-USB - black faceplate version
MFR# Hilo USB - Black
Product Description
The Lynx Studio Technology Hilo Reference AD/DA Converter System re-engineers and redefines the concept and functionality of the two-channel converter. Essentially three units in one: A/D converter; D/A converter; and headphone amplifier, Hilo offers connectivity, performance and control never before available. Newly designed differential analog stages and bi-linear converter topology provide industry-leading noise and distortion specifications and unprecedented transparency. Digital I/O is extremely versatile with support for AES/EBU, S/PDIF (via coax or optical) or ADAT. The Lynx LT-USB is standard, allowing additional USB I/O and computer connectivity.
Hilo is also the first professional converter with touchscreen operation and monitoring. All controls and signal routing is set up using easy to use menus. The setup page shows two stereo input meters and three stereo output meters. Optional screens show two selectable meter sets and even old-style analog VU meters. Future screens (updatable in the FPGA via download) will include further metering options, diagnostic operations and personalization.
The internal 32 channel mixer allows any input to be routed to any output. In fact there are three stereo analog output options. Line Out that supports eight standard trim settings, Monitor Out with a volume control, and a Headphone output, also with a volume control. In fact the headphone output has its own dedicated D/A converter with the option of a different mix than the Line and Monitor outputs.

This thing is amazing.
I've owned it for about 8 months now, and it's probably the best thing I own. I went from using a Liquid Saffire 56 to this, and I'm glad I did. The conversion quality is better than anything I've ever ran through my speakers. This includes Apollo interfaces.
The touchscreen looks a lot nicer in person, although it's responsiveness is kinda trash (especially on the corners). I also wish I had 8 more ins and outs. But those are the only negatives for me.... oh also it gets pretty warm to the touch, but that's not really much of an issue.
This interface is damn near perfect. The headphone amp is unbeatable. The software is simple. The quality is crystal clear. There's no reason for you not to buy this..... unless you have the money for an Aurora 16.
