My 2014 thread that includes the Lynx Hilo is linked below. The thread was mostly about a pair of NCore NC400 amps I had but you'll see the Hilo in there. Probably not a lot of discussion on the Hilo. As for the NC400 Class D amps, I returned them to their owner and continue to prefer my Rogue Cronus Magnum KT120 tube integrated..... or the Ayre AX-7e 'traditional Class AB' amp.As I recall, the Lynx Hilo was great sonically but since it has both ADC & DAC capabilities and is geared toward the professional market, the Hilo has lots of in/out matrix switching and complex setup. I often found myself in the wrong mode if I simply wanted to adjust the DAC volume level. It was not as convenient as I would have liked for my basic needs. You may find it to be perfectly fine. Oh, the Lynx Hilo was also on loan to me.
