Holo Audio Spring 3 Level 2

Balanced R2R DAC 32bit 1536kHz DSD1024

HoloAudio Spring 3 Level 2 DAC R2R Symétrique 32bit 1536kHz DSD1024

Holo Audio unveils with the Spring 3 a beautiful R2R DAC based on discrete components. Custom designed, it offers incredible performances thanks to its Trickle Down technology. Its particular architecture allows it to deliver a sound restitution of an unbelievable richness and purity. It embeds two totally separate circuits, one in charge of PCM streams and the other of DSD streams. An impressive design which allows to benefit fully from the capacities of this last format.

  • New generation of linear compensation technology to correct component resistance and switching problems.
  • The new generation of de-glitch technology provides full bandwidth without increasing background noise.
  • The Spring 3 achieves a SINAD of over 112dB and a dynamic range of >128dB, the best performance an R2R DAC can offer.
  • PLL+FIFO technology for drastically reduced jitter. Use of a high-performance femtosecond VCXO as the source of the PLL clock signal.
  • Proprietary firmware for the USB interface, with ultra-low latency and exceptional reliability.
  • I2S input via HDMI with independent four-channel circuitry, eliminating jitter and interference problems. Configurable I2S input pinout for maximum compatibility.

Level 2 Model

The Level 2 model of this HoloAudio Spring 3 incorporates specially designed capacitors for optimal power filtering for more neutral and detailed sound reproduction. It is also equipped with a Red Label 5N transformer with copper wiring. This version also comes with a CNC-machined remote control.

R2R & DSD

The Spring 3 is one of the few balanced R2R DACs to natively support DSD streams, using directly the discrete components of the D/A conversion stage. It is also compatible with MAC (DoP), Linux (DoP) and Windows (Native and DoP) systems.

R2R Architecture

Today's delta-sigma DACs differ from R2R models, as the former technology goes through an oversampling and high-speed digital switching stage that can cause distortion and sound artifacts. The R2R structure, on the other hand, is much more direct and pure, using a high-precision resistor network that negates the problems associated with delta-sigma conversion. What's more, the HoloAudio Spring 3 is the first discrete DAC with linear compensation, providing extremely accurate sound reproduction.

The input stage of the Spring 3 uses an AOP and its output stage discrete components, the latter operating in Class A.

Incredible sound reproduction

One of the Spring 3's strengths is its ability to deliver a wide soundstage with great precision. High frequencies are particularly detailed, without being aggressive. Bass frequencies are deep and textured, but never mask the midrange.

Linear compensation

The Spring 3 incorporates an additional R2R ladder, allowing compensation of the main R2R ladder. This additional ladder works in a similar way to trimming, but without changing the value of the resistors. It is digitally controlled and effectively compensates the tolerance of the resistors. A method that allows to reach a very high level of accuracy, with an almost perfect linearity, an extremely low THD and a particularly high SNR.

vive le R2R....
Matière, détail, scène sonore,. Le traitement des sifflantes sur les voix, la cohérence entre la réverbération et les instruments acoustiques, (guitare classique par exemple) en prise live, est à mes oreilles très convaincantes. Une écoute réaliste, un vrai plaisir.

Une merveille
La vérité, rien que la vérité, je le jure !...
J'ai l'impression d'avoir ouvert une porte sur un autre espace. ce n'est pas seulement le fait de retrouver un son analogique, c'est juste le meilleur de l'analogique et du numérique...
(Et pourtant je n'ai pas encore l'amplificateur qui permet de driver mes casques sensibles)
En plus la qualité de fabrication est absolument sublime, quelle merveille...
Pour info entre la sortie USB (depuis un PC avec iPurifier) et la coaxiale via M2Tech Hiface, la sortie USB est bien meilleure, plus douce et équilibrée.
Des heures d'écoute sans aucune fatigue. Clairement un saut dans un nouveau monde.
Et merci Audiphonics pour le contact et les conseils.

HoloAudio Spring 3 level3
So this is the second best DAC I've heard. The first is an order of magnitude more expensive MSB.
This thing plays way better than my own Accuphase DP750.
And I really didn't expect that.
It excels with HQPlayer on DSD 256-512 via USB, but is also excellent on 44.1/16 via coax.
It is good to play Holoaudio for a few days, the sound improves.

Tout y est!
Ce DAC est une merveille. Il ouvre littéralement de nouveaux horizons. Au delà du naturel des timbres, de l’ouverture et de la précision incroyable de la scène sonore, du respect de la dynamique, on retrouve la musique, pleine de la vie de ses interprètes, de l’intention artistique. Juste le plaisir d’écouter. Sans limite. A un prix tout à fait raisonnable. Bravo et merci à Holo Audio!

Juste sublime
Je suis très très heureux de cet achat ! Enfin j’écoute toute la musique numérique avec un plaisir immense. Tout prend vie avec ampleur, force, details et dans une musicalité que je n’imaginais même pas. Moi qui voulais changer d’ampli…..en fait il fait super bien le job ! Il lui manquait le HOLO SPRING 3 ! Une vraie réussite technologique au service du plaisir musical
