RE: Lynx Hilo available with Thunderbolt or USB interface.....

I just thought it was interesting that Thunderbolt is available on an ADC/DAC. This is the first one that I am aware of but there are probably others, most likely in the pro audio industry and not so much for audiophiles. As such, I can see the benefit of Thunderbolt in multi-channel bandwidth intensive scenarios for pro audio.

As for external DC power, I suspect it is supported on the Hilo probably for remote location work and not necessarily intended to improve audio quality. Not sure. I don't think the "pros" get their panties in a wad over linear power supplies and megabuck external DC sources like audiophiles do. But it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
