christosd Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) This is the Holo Audio Spring DAC. It has the Kitsune Level 3 edition with all the good bits. See specs here. https://www.kitsunehifi.com/product/springdacgreen/ To summarise, ....the Kitsuné Tuned Edition Level 3, in which all copper wiring and circuit-board plugs are replaced with 1.5mm wires of pure silver soldered directly to the boards. The IEC inlet capacitor is replaced with a Mundorf silver-foil/oil cap, and the standard fuse with an Audio Horizon Platinum Reference. The Kitsuné Tuned Edition's "Green Label," "O-Type" power transformer is hand-wound with 99.99%-pure silver wire... Lots of reviews are referenced in the Kitsune site above, but here is one of them. https://www.stereophile.com/content/holoaudio-spring-kitsuné-tuned-edition-level-3-da-processor I currently use this DAC every day and with my ME24 (also listed for EOI) is the best I've had my Gales sounding. Alas, I have had some pressure to reduce the box count in what WAS my wife's Netflix room and if the ME and HOLO both sell, I was thinking of taking a risk on a 1-box Roon/DAC/Pre option TBD. Send me a PM with your thoughts if you are interested. Edited July 22, 2021 by christosd
Ehrmantraut Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Two Holos in a week! Love the KTE versions and hard to get. One of the best analogue DACs around, especially for the $$. GLWS! 1
David Masilamoni Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 one of the few R2R DACS that does the frequency extremes well in NOS mode. wont last long on the classifieds 1
PicoWattson Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Looks like great value here. With the current price of silver the transformer alone probably equates the asking price. 1 1
christosd Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks all for the overwhelming interest in it but Ive decided not to sell at this time.
