Before considering upgrading from the Holo, try PGGB first, might be the only upgrade you will ever want:
Is a Weiss 204 DAC an upgrade, or sideways, from a Halo Audio Spring 2 Level 3?
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if the Weiss 204 would be a decent improvement over a Halo Audio Spring 2, Level 3.
I just upgraded my streamer to a Nagra, and upgraded my Interconnects from my Halo Audio DAC to Silversmith, and both are wonderful. I am just wandering if my DAC is a bottleneck...
Thanks all for entertaining such silly questions,
Richard
it is not an upgrade and no, yoru DAC isn't bottlenecking your setup. @whyrichard |
Basically, this gentleman like Holo Spring better overall except for the soundstage. The Spring has slightly less reverb and a narrower SS in comparison. This is a bit counterintuitive, as the Spring is an R2R DAC while the Weiss 204 is an ESS-based delta-sigma DAC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qCO1xWIObs Well, as he also indicates, if you could save up and go for Holo May KTE, this won't be an issue. Money talks in this case. |
