In addition to the comments made by brother gary9413 earlier in this column about Holo 泉 Spring R2R DAC, It seems there is very rare on review of this DAC in Hong Kong. Any user(s) of the said DAC here? Please share your experience and comments with us all. I am quite interested in this R2R DAC and pleased to have more information before buying! Thanks.

Bought this two months ago, so far so good. Good vocal performance and in my system, very good balance and sort of analogue feel.

I'm using it. For that price, it is very good. I suggested you to have full version modification and use HDMI input.
The only complaint is the display intensity which is rather clumsy.

Did you mean that the display is not bright enought? The most imporatant thing is the sonice performance. I don't mind if the display is a bit bright or dim in operation.

Oh! It really is a bit inconvenient. But It doesn't degrade the sonic quality of the DAC anyway.

SQ is very good especially at the price range. Of course not the best of the best but it can beat some 30k DAC especially with HDMI input

I2S 用嘅 HDMI 線越短越好,所以無論如何都要 keep 住一米以下:

旗艦有 0.7 米嘅 AIM FLR2-007 同埋 0.6 米嘅 Audioquest Diamond:

Wireworld Platinum Starlight 就更短:

Enter the $399 Singxer SU1 DDC (also on loan from Tim). This allows me to use the HSKE's I2S input via HDMI cable (this is not a cable review; I used Tim's .5M Wireworld and my 1M Nordost Silver Screen, both to perfect use). The I2S added a slight back the slight bit of immediacy and sounded best of all three signal paths, a sort of microRendu-if-hard-adapter-would-settle-down sound that hit all the buttons. I'd never heard Keith Richard's 1992 redbook solo attempt, "Main Offender" sound so live and sizzling, as if the guitar amps were plugged into my home outlets. This album is a sleeper (bad word choice; no sleeping during listening) as it shows 16/44 micro dynamics to be a very real thing.

Another I2S track standout was Gillian's Welch's alt-Americana masterpiece "Harrow and the Harvest". Her voice achieves a warmth and depth that is often difficult to recreate on this otherwise fine recording. Dave's great minimalist guitar work is the best I've ever heard it sounding. An album that is difficult to turn off.

Another clear winner on I2S, especially due to the blackness of the noise floor, is the newest Radiohead masterpiece (yes I use that word too often, but in these cases it's appropriate), the 24 bit Moon Shaped Pool. The understated palette of color and complex rhythms (took me at least five full listens to "get" this album) from these slower tempo tracks are perfectly captured by the HSKE via I2S.

However, currently the I2S would only play back with any stability in DoP mode, DSD256 max. Via the XMOS Windows ASIO driver it does not play direct DSD currently. No big deal, just trying to be fully transparent here. This could very well be user error, and I am not here to review the SU1 in any detail. But if I was offered a commensurately sounding microRendu hard adapter for $399 I'd have a tough choice to make. And the Singxer has more flexibility of inputs/outputs, etc.

Brother tleonard, thanks for your information on the review of Holo Spring DAC by the foreigners. The comments were almost positive not like those made by the Chinese from mainland China. I think the reviews from the foreigners might be more accurate and reasonable.
