What would you choose, Holo Spring or T+A Dac8 DSD?

I must admit, that it does ( 2.4.4 ) sound very good. But why such a difference compared to other "bit-perfect" players? Is there any post-processing applied? It does sound wider and I wouldn't be surprised if a little bit of reverb has been added... Can the developer confirm that no effects...

Thank you very much!
