HoloAudio STREAMER is out now

I've read lots of discussions about streamers, especially about how to get value for less than several thousand $$'s. The typical responses include Bluesound, Innuous, iFi, Raspberry Pi, Cambridge, and probably a couple others I'm missing. 

People LOVE the Holo Audio DAC's -- the May, the Spring, e.g. 

Now they have a streamer. It's less than $1k. I wonder if anyone has it or has compared it?

Potential sound aside I am somewhat surprised they didn't remain with the theme and so I have to wonder how the Red will look sitting next to an orange and black DAC...

I've contacted the company about having a non-streaming/

non-usb unit built.

Not real worth much ,not Roon ready ,power supplies are not that great as well as power regulation ,   A Roon nucleus is better if you add a linear power supply ,much better . Holo springs make very respectable dacs ,if they are going to build

a stream make it say a$2500 unit Roon ready with linear power supplies.

Its says Roon Ready as well as Roon bridge, which is a bit confusing. They are both different and usually you would have one or the other. It looks like they may have a decent linear power supply.

 

This might as well be the first streamer that integrates a DDC as well. Smart move.
