The Lynx Hilo is a professional studio-grade A/D and D/A converter with an abundance of digital inputs and outputs along with routing capabilities. This is a top-of-the-line converter and is used in several commercial studios around the world. In this video I will go over the Lynx Hilo in great detail by explaining its full capabilities, comparing it to other converters and interfaces and explaining the various use cases. I will show the full unboxing process and walk through the entire user interface along with testing the unit out. I will also show objective measurements and how it stacks up to the likes of RME, Universal Audio, MOTU, etc. I have included timestamps below for your convenience.
