Ok, so I hooked up the Holo Red to my DSDAC Mk1 through i2s (Mk2 still somewhere in the PSA warehouse with my name on it, expected maybe next week). Since some of you @vkennedy61 @Interested @magister0 and couple of others have asked for my impressions, here are my initial observations. I compare…

So I’m in need of a Red… I was visiting my dad and brought the Red with to hear on his Pass XP-22, X260.8’s and DS1 and I ended up giving it to him once we heard what a difference it made after removing the bridge ll from the DS. Let me know if anyone is interested in selling

Definitely the dip switch combination.
