Suburb or Town: Eden Hills State: SA Payment Method: Paypal, EFT, Cash on Pickup after lockdown Reason for selling: Reduction of no of Boxes in Shared Living Area 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehrmantraut Posted July 22, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PicoWattson Posted July 23, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
