    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...

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

    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...

    Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC

    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.

    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...

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

    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?

    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. Currently i have a Ray Samuel's Audio Intruder and i'm running the HD800S to it balanced. I think it sounds great, but i'm sure the HD800S can...

    **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...
