The Holo Red replaces my Auralic streamer. Since I already owned a Holo Spring3 DAC, I've switched to the Red now. What can I say? I'm using DSD512 upsampling, and it works flawlessly and sound is awesome! I'm very pleased with this Red.

Fantastic. I bought the Red to replace an old Logitech Squeezebox Touch, which I was using just as a streamer. I didn't expect the huge jump in audio quality I heard - after all bits are bits aren't they?. I have since bought a Holo Cyan DAC, and am feeding it from the Red, and the Cyan feeds my Cambridge Edge A Amplifier. Imaging and detail are so much better than before.

Had mijn ps aucio nuwave dac direct aan een nuc met Roon Rock, nu echter via de netwerkstreamer Holo audio red en de Nuc verplaatst naar de meterkast. Toen ik de Holo Red aansloot via een i2s verbinding geen geluid en kon de Holo ook niet vinden in het netwerk. Contact gehad met Jos en hij gaf aan dat ik de sd kaart naar een andere image moest flashen. Dit gedaan de Holo Red werd gevonden in het netwerk en kon deze instellen als Roon endpoint. Het feest kon beginnen, meteen bij de eerste noten hoorde je al veel meer rust en detail in het geluidbeeld, de plaatsing was beter en meer details zijn hoorbaar. Ook de bas is een stuk strakker geworden. Wel op de instelpagina van de Red in het netwerk 2 keer over een update uigevoerd en nu kan ik de Holo red ook in de Holo omgeving instellen als Roon endpoint met bij behoorde instellingen. Ik had gevraagd naar een Eversolo DMP8 maar Jos gaf aan dat gezien mijn installatie, en een Roon core het verstandiger was om een Holo Red aan te schaffen en dit een grotere upgrade zou zijn in mijn installatie. Ik ben erg blij met de aanschaf, maar nog enthousiaster hoe ik geadviseerd en geholpen ben door Magna Hifi, ze stellen klant tevredenheid duidelijk boven een hogere omzet. In een woord TOP!!

I am really impressed with this holo audio red, compared to the pc running straight in to the spring 3 dac with the red in between the sound is so much better even with no run in time on the red. The initial sound i heard was much more refined with a very noticeable amount of size and space to the sound stage,before the red the sound was very flat but now it sounds full and plump! Your recommendation to use I2s connection for this combo was excellent advice!

I've had a closer listen to the Holo Red, and I'm impressed. The Holo RED fundamentally solves digital issues. Very nice unit, can't wait to receive mine......

I am very happy with the Holo Audio Red, it sounds very good. I use the SP-DIF RCA output to my DAC. USB cable seems a little loose in Red when the cable is inserted.

The Red has landed safe and sound. I've plugged it in via ethernet in/USB out, and have been a bit shocked by the results. I'm running into the May/Bliss KTE combo into Susvaras, Atriums, Verites and Calderas. On each pair I've been blown away with how much of a difference the Red has made. Coming from a Zen Stream powered by a Hypsos with high end power management, I was expecting a relatively minor but noticeable improvement, but... wow! I think it's really the blackness of the background that has changed significantly, everything is instantly more dynamic, vivid and textured.

The device's measurement outcomes are outstanding, as evidenced by its impeccable sound quality. Its versatility as both a streamer and DDC further underscores its excellence. Truly a remarkable product!

This streamer is good very transparent, with a large soundstage. The rendering is very fluid and always natural, it is much better than a IFI AUDIO ZEN ONE SIGNATURE which is for sale now. Tested in coaxial output on two different dacs.

Gorgeous sound; beats my expectations! Very versatile device. Red can be used as a DDC or as a streaming bridge with Tidal Connect. Super!

Received the Red. The SD Card was already prepared. I am using Mconnect and it was totally straightforward, perfect for me. The sound quality using Red is great!!

The Holo Red detail retrieval is insane coming from a noisy source like a desktop. You can hear the smallest vinyl pops that artists mix into the music.
