Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
Thanks. Fair point on the sound stage in relation to headphones. I did catch your point about DSD. I just wasn’t clear if that was in a particular mode or all modes. As I listen to high res files this is a big deal for me so wanted to triple check. I had been back and forth between this Holo...- rydenfan

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
Absolutely awesome review! Super helpful!! I use a DNA Stratus which I think is similar to your amps; tubes but not overly warm. Very fast and musical. You refer to the Holo multiple times as musical or warm side of the spectrum. Did you feel like it sacrificed anything as a result? Like...- rydenfan

DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions
Totally man. I was actually pretty floored when I hooked it back up. I enjoyed it before but the detail, clarity, transparency and additional soundstage is incredible. Plus all the transients. This is not a minor upgrade! @Donald North took this thing to the next level!! I’ll get a few hundred...- rydenfan

DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions
I’ve had my Stratus back from Donald for quite some time but have not managed to hook it up...that changed today. Even out of the box it is super impressive!! And I know it needs some time...rolled in a Brimar 5U4G and RCA Millitary 2A3’s to start. I’ll save my metal base for a few hundred hours...- rydenfan

yes, I have satisfied all of these steps. Its seeing the file on some level as its asking me if I want to perform the update which doesn't happen if the update file is not on the drive. But from there it seems to be failing. I appreciate the help though!- rydenfan

I don't even think I own one. I bought this 200 brand new specifically for my new DX80. Now that isn't compatible for aFW update? This seems like a crazy process. Again, I am on a Mac so not even sure how to format to FAT32. I just don't see how any of this is user friendly. Have you considered...- rydenfan
