Well, I can speak for the Holo Audio Spring Kitsune level III edition and I pair with the Singxer DDC it’s fantastic. Very organic sounding. By “organic” I mean natural of course. It just lets the music be presented in the way it was recorded. I couldn’t be happier unless I moved up to the May of course. When researching this DAC I was also very interested in the Soekris. Would love to compare them. I would also like to compare the Spring to the Audio Mirror. Good luck in your selection.
Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?
Soekris 2541 $1.1
Doge 7 $1.2
Mhdt Pagoda $1.4
Denafrips Pontus $1.8
Audio Mirror SE $2.5
Holo Audio Spring 2 $2.7
Audio Note 4.1 Kit $3.6
Lampizator Amber 3 $3.8
Anyone who can speak from experience about comparisons
between any two these?
I like the use of a tube and I like the R2R style of build.
Prefer to stay under $2.5 but might be swayed.
Thanks in advance for sharing.
(Some of these prices are certainly not correct)

For under $2,000 Benchmark Dac3 A+ rated is excellent, for under $3,000 Bryston is A+ Rated. Read reviews on Stereophile and Absolute Sound. I had the Benchmark 2 with Ayre equipment and sounded fantastic. The Mytek Manhattan used for $4,000 is a big step up, was in my system with more air & detail. |
I cant comment on the equipment on your list, but can offer an opinion on Wyred 4 Sound Dac, on my second one as i upgraded From the original to the
DAC-2v2SE
. They are definitively worth a look with balanced outputs and up gradable but no tubes in circuit. I preferred this one over my sim audio dac https://wyred4sound.com/products/clearance/dac-2v2se-trade-unit |
