Yes it is possible:
Ive got a hylex lever (thanks to @Soul) and swapped out the caliper with a shimano xtr. The hylex brake uses standard fittings and both calipers have about the same size piston so equal power as well. It works!
(...and I save 30 grams in disc brake adapters!...)
svenhöek-
Awesome!
Have you tried it out already? any difference in performance?
I quite like to replace the caliper with a Shimano ice tech one.

Great thanks, good find! I'm on the same wavelength Ed. I have a MTB SLX on my other bike and it looks like it could be a cheap upgrade to get access to all the icetech stuf and finned pads.

Questions for folks with TRP Hylex, is the brake line they come with the same size as for Shimano hydraulics? Ie: could one swap out the caliper for a Shimano one to get access to finned pads etc?
