I own the Holo Spring 2 KTE version and to describe it as suspecting of being bright/clinical could not be farther from the truth. It is the most smoothest DAC I have ever owned. Very detailed and transparent with the best bass. Another words extremely musical.
Holo Audio Spring DAC LEVEL 3 Vs. iFi Audio Pro iDSD DAC and Music Streamer
I want to up grade my DAC's and I'm looking at Holo Audio Spring DAC
LEVEL 3 and the iFi Audio Pro iDSD DAC and Music Streamer . Both are the
same price ($2499),both can be tube or SS I believe. Both have received
stunning reviews. Which one would be better with tube amps, which one
better with solid state? Has anyone heard one or both. Is one more
analytical then the other? Image, sound stage and depth, which should
sound better with Martin Logan's electrostatics? Am I missing something,
are there other DAC / Streamer's under $2500 I should know about?
