Lynx Hilo AD/DA Converter with USB (Silver)

Extremely versatile, 2-channel ADC/DAC, with a touchscreen LCD display, and high-end headphone amp.

The Hilo Reference A/D D/A Converter System from Lynx Studio Technology offers two channels of mastering-quality analog-to-digital conversion, up to eight channels of digital-to-analog conversion, a secondary monitor output, and a world class independent headphone amplifier, all with the pristine, transparent audio quality that Lynx is known for. Hilo (pronounced HE-low) comes in a compact half-rack size, with an innovative 480 x 272 touchscreen that provides a flexible and intuitive interface that will adapt to a particular application and can be easily upgraded with enhancements and updated features. Initial front panel controls support extensive signal routing and mixing, sample rate selection, clock source options, levels, metering, and diagnostic features. The digital or analog inputs can be routed to three separate outputs, Line Output (with 8 trim settings), Monitor Output, and Headphone Output. The Monitor and Headphone Outputs have volume controls, accessible via faders on the touchscreen or the single knob on the front (offering control in ½ dB increments). The Headphone section has its own dedicated D/A converter. This supports the creation of 32-channel headphone mixes independent of the main and monitor outputs, as well as providing specifications that rival those of dedicated headphone amps costing $1500 and more. The digital section offers a wide range of inputs. AES/EBU inputs and outputs have transformer isolated balanced XLR connectors. SPDIF input and output are available via transformer-coupled coax or optical (TOSLINK) connections. The Optical ports can also be used for up to eight ADAT channels. The ADAT input and output channels are completely independent from the AES/EBU or S/PDIF coax channels. The Lynx LT-USB LSlot accessory is also included, for computer connectivity. Lynx’s low jitter SynchroLock word clock is also included, with Word Clock in and out connections available. In total, Hilo has 12 total inputs, 16 total outputs plus 32 channels possible via its LSlot port. The unit’s FPGA powers its internal 32-channel mixer, which allows Hilo to offer the most versatile I/O and routing available in a two-channel converter.In contrast to the concentrated and intricate back panel, Hilo’s front panel is elegant in its simplicity. It has a power switch, headphone jack, multipurpose control and a 480 x 272 pixel high resolution LCD touchscreen. This high-resolution screen handles the basic settings and routing functions, clocking and level settings. A second meter screen shows just two larger bar-graph style stereo bar meters. Any input or output set can be assigned to each meter. In addition to bar-graph meters common on most converters, Hilo’s touchscreen is able to show more traditional metering types, such as old style VU meters. As with all other Lynx products, Hilo is FPGA based, meaning new features, capabilities and graphics can be added at any time with a simple download.
