For those who use hqplayer to convert everything to DSD then yes. However you don't really lose the ability to play both PCM and DSD using either R2R or DSD module since the AKM PCM/DSD converter chip used in spring is also included

HI thanks for the many insights.
May I ask you if you are representing or associated with Holo Audio.
Just asking because I'd love to ask a few questions on the Spring DAC!

Anyone using Holo Spring ad a DAC with speakers?

I was using it exclusively with speakers. What would you like to know?

I've also noticed that the Spring seems a lot more popular with the headphone crowd.

I am and I have nothing really to complain about. It sounds good through my HE-9 as a pre-amp and Stealth 8 speakers.

Sorry but no. And I personally own a Holo sabertooth dac so I don't care much about tech details of spring.

I don't know much about Holo in US but doesn't every Holo product sold in US come from KitsuneHIFI?

I used to use my Spring with my headphone system. Now it is permanently serving my LS50s.

Sounds like an interesting match...
I love the LS50s.
What amp do you use?

 

[lukeap69]

What do you use for volume control?

 

[Gibraltar]

What do you use for volume control?

I have a Sony TA-ER1 preamp that handles volume control.

Yes.

 

[doraymon]

Well, technically all Holo Audio products are sold in the US by Kitsune Hifi but my understanding is that at list all Spring units are built and modded outside the US and then imported.

 

[joseph69]

Well, technically all Holo Audio products are sold in the US by Kitsune Hifi.

This is why I answered yes.

 

[doraymon]

This is why I answered yes.

The question was not who is selling them but where do they come from. They come from China.

No, there wasn't any question about where they're coming from, the question was:
"I don't know much about Holo in US but doesn't every Holo product sold in US come from KitsuneHIFI?

So yes, Kitsune HiFi - HoloAudio USA is the US distributor for Holo which is located in Washington. Holo is in China.

The question wasn't:
"I don't know much about Holo in US but doesn't every Holo product sold in US come from China?"

I've been up since 4:00AM...am I missing something?

Let's agree to disagree.
Maybe who asked the question can clarify what exactly he wanted to know.
But maybe by now we already answered his question lol
