[QUOTE="Air, post: 1155676, member: 15182"] I had an interesting experience with the Holo Red and another R2R dac last week, the Aqua Voce. In a nutshell, the Red didn't change the signature of the Aqua completely but it improved the sound with varying degrees over being fed from a MiniMac. The background was quieter, low-level detail was better and the soundstage was slightly bigger and more open and precise. What was of note was that when using the USB out from the streamer, the improvements were more slight than using the optical output from the Red into the Aqua. Once again, it seems to validate that with USB, the streamer would be the slave and the DAC the master. With the optical output, the better clocks of the Red were beneficial to the overall SQ.
