HoloAudio STREAMER is out now


I've read lots of discussions about streamers, especially about how to get value for less than several thousand $$'s. The typical responses include Bluesound, Innuous, iFi, Raspberry Pi, Cambridge, and probably a couple others I'm missing. 

People LOVE the Holo Audio DAC's -- the May, the Spring, e.g. 

Now they have a streamer. It's less than $1k. I wonder if anyone has it or has compared it?

Can someone who has a Red answer me this? Can it be used as an NAA using HQPlayer then Airplay or Spotify connect without rebooting. In other words, do you boot into NAA then, to do anything else, you need to boot into "regular" mode? Thanks.

@sfgak Thanks for the info. That answers my question and allows me to cross the Red off my list.

@sfgak Interesting. I currently use a micro-PC as an NAA and a Yamaha WXC-50 for Spotify and Airplay. My DAC has tons of inputs so it works if I’m the only one using it. The problem is if a family member wants to listen to something that I wasn’t listening to last. They need to figure out which input to choose. I also don’t disagree with your HQPlayer take. Sometimes I prefer the Yamaha via optical coax. I do have a pretty good DAC in the T+A DAC 200. I borrowed my dealer’s Innuos Zen and liked it better than the NAA on pretty much everything. It can actually work as an NAA but when you choose that you can’t do anything else. It also didn’t sound as good as my MicroPC NAA or using the Innuos Sense app. I should just get a Pulse or Pulsar. I hate this hobby. Lol.
