I wonders will the custom ones have different curve? from your measurement I saw it as almost in ear flat, which should not be how a flat speaker in a good room or even anechoic room does, yet the UERR generally sounds neutral to ears... hard to explain on that?

So why is it a problem if only used with the D90 which don’t have a problem with the impedance of the A90? If one ask about using any other DAC with topping A90 yes, that’s a reminder, but if it’s a matching pair I can’t see any reason it won’t be a brilliant performer

Actually this is exactly why I appreciate third party measurements, yes it might not tell everything on all sides, be it inadequate measurement aspects or other reasons, but then it tells me what to expect, I forgot the actual reason for holo spring in 16/44.1 materials having a slight roll off...

No, I have been using a NFB1 2014 for 3 years before changed to a Holoaudio Spring 2. I did auditioned the D90 and liked it quite some but didn't bother to change my dac anytime, for the Holo I do use the NOS mode which is known to roll off the highs which I preferred but that's nothing to do...

well, even without that mains leak it doesn't matter for the rest of the distortion, what they are measuring was overall signal over distortion, as I mentioned above, when some others managed to do better than those, they did better, if designers think they do it this way and with all those...

One tthing I quite like the ASR philosophy is that quite some renowned Hifi floor-stander manufacturers did goes into that measuring flat in anechoic chamber idea, at least their published measurements do try to do it at best as they can (KEF, Vivid, Focal, just to name a few). And that even...

for the V281 I was originally tempted to buy one but their measurement in innerfedility showed a massive bass roll off which I have no idea why, but rolling off bass and neutral otherwise seems a big no for me

actually looking back at my 7 years old burson soloist I still think the higher ends are all overpriced lol

I tried a few amps including the HPA4 and can't hear a difference with my still current Auralic Taurus Mk II, so I bet you probably better off spend on a headphone upgrade than an TOTL amp

is it just me.. it looked like a cloned hifiman..

From a level2 owner I think the holo spring 2 is enjoyable enough before so call running in, just enjoy the nos sound

Hi guys my auralic taurus mk ii ALPS pot recently become scratchy and when turning it may have some kind of hum which is not heard if the pot stays untouched, I am thinking to replace it and gets sort of tempted to replace it with a DACT, but anyone have idea whether it's pin compatible or extra...

This sounds like good with the amp power for current thirsty planar, but the 9038 is less engaging than the R2R offerings in my opinion

Right, in the 2 I think the only button with similar function is the mute mode where the output stage was off?

I am curious, after the years you got the dac, does the always on resulting in audible aging effects?
