That was my thought too - does PS Audio look to slide in the Bridge 2, into the carrier, or rely on others to make the bridge cards and then provide the external connector (the bridge box) which quietens things down…
Seems like a lot of effort to just house the old Bridge 2 card, compared to making the carrier just a bit more adaptable so it can house the newer Converse “bridges” that can do DSD256, PCM384 and MQA unfolding to 384 (and which will probably allow upgrades in future years).
Update, The Holo Red has landed after its UK tour. Wow, what a device the SQ is better than any streamer I have heard up to now. Bass is so sharp and deep may have to change subwoofer settings !!.Sounds better than my DMP playing standard cd. Some achievement for the price. One happy bunny
Yep, my thoughts exactly in the post I wrote about my impressions.
My Lumin T2 with the dual ES9038PRO is stellar. But this guy plus the DSD Mk 1 was actually sonically nicer for me. I was quite impressed considering its price.
