| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. I too am in George's bad books for mentioning the fuse!Don't sweat it. :)Many of us including yours truly, have been in his bad books for eons, simply for holding contrarian views to his dogmas. Pet issues of contention have been 1. R2R vs delta-s... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Many thanks, Charles, for the update.I have auditioned the Bricasti in my home system and going by your description of the Holo's sound next to the Bricasti's, this is high praise indeed.J. :) | |
| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? .....its hard to ever go back and be 100% satisfied.Not true. Been there, done that and never ever going back to MBL.

| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment @erik_squires Just been there before your post and found out that they transfer from 1/2" tape masters. :)On the home page, it also says, "We specialize in recording direct to DSD and tape to capture the natural acoustic sounds of our artists."On ... | |
| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment It is nearly impossible to do pure DSD without either analog tools or PCM in the loop. It has been said that recording direct to a dsd master bypasses all the analog and/or pcm processes.Anyway, noise issue aside, some dsd versions of the same ... | |
| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment The proof as always, is in the listening. If we can hear a difference in our system and with our ears, we choose the format that we enjoy. If not, we move on. Setting all theory aside, let’s just enjoy the music. This is the only fundamental that ... | |
