Herb Reichert

"To me, a DAC is just a DAC—until it wipes away digital glare and opens the listening door all the way, letting me enter the plain-truth wonderments of the recordings I collect. And the HoloAudio Spring DAC Level3 did exactly that. Its sense of undamaged, I-am-there truthfulness let me relax and enjoy my CDs, and DSD and other hi-rez files, with renewed faith in digital sound."

@lancelock  I am wondering about that for couple of months now but i could not find one decent comparison between LVL1 and LVL3.

My guess is that there won't be that much of a sonic difference.

I also hear people saying that the Spring DAC is better with headphones and can sound strange/funny with speakers sometimes. I wonder why would they say that.

I had this dac and it was just mediocre at best.

@jwm 

Which version did you have?  Also did you use it with Singxer SU-1 in the chain or just the Dac itself?
