Lynx Hilo 2 Review in Sound On Sound Magazine

The esteemed Sound On Sound Magazine, one of the world’s most respected publications covering the world of professional audio technology since 1985, has given an outstanding review to the Lynx Hilo 2. The review, written by SOS’s technical editor Hugh Robjohns, gives the Hilo 2 phenomenal grades across a wide range of criteria. Some excerpts…

“This updated version of Lynx’s mastering converter offers a much improved touchscreen, a host of new filtering options — and the best D‑A converter performance we’ve ever measured!”

---

“In my tests, this newer model gained 2dB of performance on the A‑D side, measuring an exceptional 123.1dBA. That’s second on my list only to the incredible RME ADI‑2 Pro (124dBA). The D‑A side exhibited an even greater improvement, reaching a whopping 128.1dBA, making it my new leaderboard winner — 2dB better than the Merging Hapi interface, which was the previous leader. These are exceptional figures, genuinely pushing against the boundaries of what is possible in a practical commercial product, and Lynx are to be congratulated on their striking achievements.”

“The Hilo 2 is ideally suited as the heart of any professional mastering suite, transfer room, or high‑end audiophile’s system, delivering standard‑defining audio quality in a wonderfully easy to use and configure format. The best just got better.”

The Hilo 2 is available now from fine professional audio retailers worldwide.
