Looks a lot line the Denafrips $500 streamer.
I don’t think Denafrips makes a streamer yet.
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?

@curiousjim They have had them for about 3 years now and refer to them as DDC. At least I believe they function as streamers.

I don’t believe DDC’s are called streamers. DDC are "Digital to Digital Converter" which means they convert from one protocol to another, or from one digital interface to another digital interface, eg. USB -> SPDIF. Streamers are something that can play music of their own either as a network renderer when using a control point or a server. A DDC cannot play music by its own - it needs a streamer/server. This Holo Red is the only device on the market that I am aware of that combines a DDC and Streamer into a single device. |
