Why you would want to add unreliable tubes to the output is a joke isn't it!!!!
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
Many manufacturers are going back to R2R Multibit d/a conversion, a good portion of audiophiles are saying it sounds better than the cheaper d/a conversion of Delta Sigma, (1 bit), Bitstream, Saber. etc.
And it says it uses dual R2R’s Multibits to support DSD natively!!?
Product Description:This new DAC.”Spring” is the first design of a new era, a milestone for HOLO Audio’s own Jeff Zhu. It’s a full discrete R2R type of audio decoder and does not have off the shelf-DAC chip! This is a bespoke custom-designed core DAC module and truly a breakthrough with technology for any DAC chip today. The Spring is here to achieve new heights, new dynamics and simply a full spectrum of audio to please the aural senses. This Dac has been called the poor mans Total Dac / MSB / Wavedream / Chord Dave Etc. It plays with the big boys.

I am not interested technology-wise, but sound-wise.Lots of initial excitment over at SNA forums. New Holo Audio Spring Dac - R2R and DSD
http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/110550-new-holo-audio-spring-dac-r2r-and-dsd/ This shoot out between the $10kaud Metrum Pavane and the $2k Holo, both are R2R ladder Mutibit dacs, so it may not interest you, if you prefer Delta Sigma based dacs, which the Bryston is. http://earphiles.org/index.php/2017/02/04/metrum-pavane-vs-holo-spring-dac/ Cheers George |
