HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS

Hey ya ...just not familiar with NOS Dacs. If it's a required thing for them to reach full potential or is straight into the DAC from whatever the streamer or CD player sends ok.? My streamers sends up to 384khz pcm and Native DSD etc. So let the streamer decide?

While I don’t know your DAC, when listening to Jazz, I mostly leave my DAC on NOS, but sometimes I set it on OS and add a “Slow” filter if I listen to Rock.

Play with all the settings and have fun.

Ya, the NOS DAC doesnt have OS or slow filters etc. All upscale/sampling has to be done on the streamer. It's the Rose 250a. My DAC is pure NOS

In the end it’s what sounds best to you! Nice choice on the dac- I hear they are wonderful.

My streamer will upsample as well but to be honest I have everything set to Native in my system. I prefer to run AES to my dac so everything stays native at or below 24/192. If I want to go true DSD I playback native from my MacBook Pro via usb- I haven’t even bothered with trying to stream DSD.

Yes, I havent found streamable DSD content yet. I run native from my streamer so what ever the song is from 44.1-192hz is what plays back thru the DAC. Im connected via USB from streamer to DAC. Not sure if that is optimum but I read it offers the least limitations when passing info to the DAC. This DAC is relatively new..less than 3 weeks. Im amazed that it will get better as it gets settled in.
