Lynx Hilo-TB + ThunderBolt Card is an AD/DA Converter with LCD Touch Screen, Headphone Amp, 3 Sets of Analog Outputs, 32-channel Internal Mixer and a Pre Installed Lynx LT-TB Option Card.
It is impossible to compare the Lynx Hilo to other two channel AD and DA converters. In fact it is a unique product that is, at first, a little difficult to get your head around. Basically, Hilo replaces three different, critical components:
#1 Lynx Hilo is an analog to digital converter
#2 It is also a digital to analog converter. With most companies, these are two separate units.
#3 It is an independent headphone amplifier.
The headphone section has its own, dedicated D/A converter. This provides two key benefits. First this allows Hilo to offer a headphone output with exceptional clarity and noise specifications. Second, due to Hilo’s internal 32 channel mixer, any input set can be routed to the headphone stereo output. This means that a mix that is entirely different from the analog outputs and monitors can be applied to the headphones.
