Is the consensus that the Cen.Grand Silver Fox and DSDAC stack would be the next step up from the Holo stack, or is there not really a consensus about which is better?
I don't think there really is a step up from the Holo stack, at least not for headphones. For speakers sure, but not headphones.

No one is going to be deciding between either a Bliss or Homage for their only solid state amp. Different price points and different use cases.
I respectfully beg to differ. I am currently researching class A solid state amps and am very much debating Bliss vs Mjolnir vs Homage vs Oor vs etc. Just because they are in different price categories doesn't mean that even dedicated audiophiles aren't comparing whether or not it's actually worth spending the extra money on the more expensive option. Just because I CAN spend it doesn't mean I want to if it's not really worth it.

One of the only things I dislike about the Bliss/Spring setup I have is the Bliss has two XLR in options, while the Spring has only one XLR out option. Why???? If it was the reverse, I could get a second balanced amp, like a Homage, and use that along with the Bliss. Oh well.
I bought this input switch from Amazon along with its paired output switch a while back, and I have yet to hear any noise or noticeable quality differences so far, as least with quality interconnect cables. It lets me switch from 3 different DACs on the fly, and then pick from 3 balanced amps to route it to. Lets me pick my flavor very quickly and easily at my desk.

Received Stabilized Atticus #809 and they look even better in person. I learned that taking pictures of objects that reflect light is tough but here are a couple of close ups.

The colors across the board are very close to each other which really completes the look. A matching custom cable is on the way. Now it's time to hear them...

Love these, congrats! They're like a reddish-pinkish sibling to my "Tourmaline" stabilized Atticus!

I have found that late-night excuses are more easily justified to myself after a ZMF headphone listening session that involved a few 🥃… funny how that works. 😂 🤪
