Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
At around 125 hours now and it’s definitely opened up a bit since new. Was connected through i2s to my Pi2AES. Thought I would try USB and don’t think I can tell a difference. PLL was on for both USB and i2s. Compared to my old dac the Musician Pegasus there is more resolution, larger...- Josh05

What’s everyone’s thoughts on i2s vs USB with the Spring 3 KTE? I’m currently running i2s to my Pi2AES.- Josh05

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
Well I finally got it, so much for overnight shipping, it ended up being three working days total. Hardly had a chance to listen as it came and I had to go to work an hour later but straight away it is a big step up from my Musician Pegasus. I’ve got it running in at the moment. I’m off work...- Josh05

I ordered Wednesday 9th from Indie Hi-Fi in Australia. The website was a bit confusing, said in stock but also max of 5 week wait. I emailed them later on that day to clarify and they said they had the unit in stock and would ship it the next day.- Josh05

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
According to the latest update I’ve got, my DAC has been shipped express today and is due for delivery tomorrow. I was honestly expecting a 4-5 week wait as that’s what it said on the website. I’m so used to having to wait for everything audio related I buy getting that email was awesome. On top...- Josh05

Can’t wait! Should be a good upgrade from my Musician Pegasus. I’m hoping the i2s is compatible with my Pi2AES- Josh05

I currently have the Pegasus and are close to pulling the trigger on the Spring 3 L3. I run the Pegasus i2s to a DDC. Is the Spring 3 a whole lot better?- Josh05

Recently purchased HD800S and i just cant put them down! Advice on new amp and DAC
Hi all, i picked up a new HD800S three days ago and i'm blown away, i really loved my LCD-2 but honestly, i don't think i'll ever use them again now.

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Agree with your points about reviews. What I have found is you have to find a reviewer who you find hears similar to you or has similar taste. When looking for new gear I always check to see if Skylab has reviewed the gear I'm looking at because I feel as though he has similar taste to myself...- Josh05
