By the way, it bugs the crap out of me when some rags fail to bother to compare a review component to anything else at all, and some sometimes don’t even bother to disclose the equipment used in the review system! What is that??? All but useless to me. ARGH!!! I suppose it does promote firing off "reviews" much more quickly while also effectively removing almost all potential accountability. How wonderful it must be for those "reviewers." (Yes I’m referring to you TAS and Hi-Fi+). Anyway, thanks for the link to the review.

Herb Reichert
"To me, a DAC is just a DAC—until it wipes away digital glare and opens the listening door all the way, letting me enter the plain-truth wonderments of the recordings I collect. And the HoloAudio Spring DAC Level3 did exactly that. Its sense of undamaged, I-am-there truthfulness let me relax and enjoy my CDs, and DSD and other hi-rez files, with renewed faith in digital sound."
