| Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005 An aside. I acquired the Serene from a fellow A'goner which was an excellent experience | |
| Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005 The Holo replaced a chip DAC not out of necessity rather I wanted to experience the R2R presentation. After learning what the 005 does I may place it aside the Spring just because. The piling on effect was Holo Serene pre amp with no regrets. | |
| Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005 Last November my order for the Holo Spring 3 KTE arrived and I've commented in other threads about my experience with this similarly priced DAC. Priced nearer to the 005 without an onboard chip though it performs in NOS mode exactly the same as th... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC DAC designers focused on USB that take advantage of the newest processors in their boards have taken this input to an exceptional level. Realizing bits are not just bits a good designer will render bit perfect processing regardless of the imperfec... | |
| Better R2R DAC Recommendation? Another +1 for Holo Audio DAC’s. I have a Pro-Ject S2 Ultra and Spring 3 (did not elect the pre-amp option since I wanted their Pre, Serene, both are KTE editions). The Spring 3 uses the same components as the May in NOS mode but is missing the ch... | |
| Best double live vinyl? Omitting triple albums (if allowed I would include Zep’s "How The West Was Won") and not wishing to repeat others listed I will toss in "Seconds Out" - Genesis. | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? My "crazy town" uses overhead DC to power buses and until they stop for the night the tinnitus is screaming. Only then can I settle in for a listen. | |
| Why is most everything remastered? With two DAC's in place, a chip and an R2R, the A/B between is somewhat shocking. Remasters from Qobuz through Roon sound tuned for the chip DAC and when played through the R2R, the horror! I keep the R2R in NOS mode and what is heard when 44.... | |
| Berkeley CA audiophile is desperate need of help @bander Hello. Checking to see if you are still in need of a DAC for testing. Like others have suggested, reach out to a member of the San Francisco Audiophile Society, SFAS. I am a member and willing to help out a fellow listener! I reside in SF ... | |
| Apple iPad music streamer Purchased used Pro-Ject Streambox S2 Ultra for $550. Holo KTE dac's prioritize usb connections and this streamer fits my bill exactly. Seller lives nearby so this transaction should happen quickly and I will finally know if a device in the chain b... | |
| Apple iPad music streamer Ideally the streamer I need only does one job.There is no need for storage or disc components. Sadly my CD collection is gone however I'm very satisfied with Qobuz/Roon as a replacement Most streamers I see are paired with something and I am looki... | |
| Apple iPad music streamer My system uses an iMac via USB to a HOLO DAC and sounds incredible to me. Guests always comment how great sounding the system is. After many times reading about others that switched from iPads, Macs, pc, to dedicated streamers, with noticeable im... | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... I was sold a satisfactory service and a very pleasurable experience. In this instance service does not equate to sales. | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... Not going there | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... I forgot to mention the $250 is a store credit for any purchase. They can F off as I will never spend another cent there or recommend anyone shop there. Won't effect their petty cash but I feel better. Way to treat a customer. |
