Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
I think the Titanis circuit gives a bit better measurements. The Spring 3 L1/L2 measure already exceptionally good (USB input) - if one can hear the miniscule difference is another thing, i personally don't think i could do it. That is why i went with the L1. But if money is no object then one...- McPh1st0

Why don't you get a repeater with ethernet output (i have the AVM Fritz!Repeater 3000). You can connect also a network switch to the repeater (which is what i have done) and you will not care anymore If a device has WiFi or not...- McPh1st0

Holo Audio Red Streamer
I wouldn't use anything other than USB with Holo Spring 3 dacs. I you wish to use I2S make sure that the streamer has better oscillators than the May... But the Spring 3 series has very good USB modules (especially the KTE versions) so i would stick with that. Personally i use a Rpi4 running...- McPh1st0

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
I find it difficult to give an answer to this question. Smooth and warm may mean something different to me than it does to you. I am gonna say that it sounds just right. In comparison to Pontus 2 it has more precise staging, it's bass is more accurate with more punch and less bloated, more...- McPh1st0

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
Spring 3 L1 & L2 have also galvanically isolated USB module. Spring 3 kte has the fancier USB module from May (Titanis chip). Spring 3 L1 and L2 give also outstanding measurements (check out the review from L7audiolab). If the (marginally?) better USB module and a bit of silver wiring is worth...- McPh1st0

Holo Audio Red Streamer
@golden Are there any sonic differences to be expected (for the better) If the Red is used in streamer mode (USB output) in comparison to standard Pi4? Dac in this case is Spring 3 Level 1. And what about I2S from Red (streamer mode) vs USB from Pi4?- McPh1st0

Magnahifi states that:"To activate the DDC function the Red must be turned off/on while the USB source is connected. to re-enable the Streaming function, disconnect the USB source and turn the Red off/on again." Is this really how Red is gonna be???- McPh1st0

I am also having this transformer hum (Spring 3 lvl 1 - bought mid April from Magna Hifi). The issue was solved with the help of a DC blocker from ATL (https://www.atlhifi.com/shop/fully-assembled-devices/dc-blocker-trap-filter-assembled-in-case/).

Well i am not a man of many words... Let's just say that in my room, with my amp/speakers/ears etc the level 1 Spring 3 sounds fantastic and better than Pontus 2/Iris combo. The Holo sounds just right and correct compared to the Pontus. Not so much in your face with amazing staging. I did not...- McPh1st0
