I’m in similar situation with a Dennafrips Ter 12th Ann. I was at a shootout this weekend and the Holo (2 chassis) was the consensus winner. Can't speak to the others on your list. I agree with staying in the r2r realm.
New R2R DAC
I am on the road to upgrade my DAC. Currently use a MHDT Pagoda Balanced. Want to stay in the R2R world.
Considering Audio Note 2.1, SW1X DAC II, Lampizator Amber 4, or Holo Audio May.
Will be used in a system with Auralic server, ARC REF 3 Preamp, Modwright KWA 150 Signature Amp, and Wilson Sabrina Speakers.
Thoughts and advice?
Thanks!
