DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R

As @tcadden brings up… learning about sound and what you want is critical. I highly recommend this book:

The Complete Guide to High-End Audio

Book by Robert Harley

 Knowing the terminology and match your observations to each of them makes learning much quicker. This allows you to identify and articulate what you want and to read professional reviews.

@ noske :

The folk at Holo are disciples of certain funky marketing gimmicks which do not impress me.

Could you please specify in detail just what those ’marketing gimmicks’ Holo Audio employs are? Thank you!

I bought my Holo Audio ’MAY KTE’ DAC from Kitsune HiFi, Holo Audio’s U.S. dealer, which is based in Oregon. I had no issues whatsoever with either the dealer, Kitsune, or the delivery of my purchase.

no trail periods her in Thailand.  you buy it, you own it.  no refund unless its defective.  boy do i miss the States in that regard.

@mod_asored I recently purchased a Benchmark DAC3 HGC, and am delighted with it. Just passing along a good 3rd party experience, if Benchmark is on your list to consider. I believe one can buy on Amazon Prime w/30 day return period

Jonwatches,

I have a friend who really loves his Benchmark3. It is a little out of my price range right now. But like all audio purchases, I always seem to end up outside my price range. So I am watching for what pops up.

Thanks for the recommendation.
