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.

| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Comments from Jeff Zhu :-".....I can’t say it’s 1 or 2 DACs inside. Physically, it is 1 DAC module, but it works in 2 different modes. Each mode uses different part of the module and also shared some parts. Spring is a 24bit DAC, bit23 is msb (m... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. The Spring dac does not come with digital volume control and requires a preamp according to its designer. He must have very good reasons to not include a digital volume control. | |

| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Charles,You are so right. The Yamamoto punches way above its price point.http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/yamamoto7/dac.htmlRgds. Jon. | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. The Yamamoto YDA-01 dac at $2450 would be a better comparison with the Spring dac than the Bricasti SE at about 4 times the price of these 2 products. |
