My USB outs go through isolators (Intona or Topping) in any case, which adds to the price but not as much as getting a Red with redundant hardware...
I'll be curious to read your conclusions. My hunch, from lots of fiddling with previous streamers including Pi2AES, is that the biggest (if still...
Same setup -- Roon, ethernet in, USB out -- but mine hiccups play briefly every 15-30 minutes. Very irritating.
I don't need a Holo Red because I'm all USB DACs these days. The Pi setup I described cost ~$200. I could go crazy with fancy power supplies to...
Mine is wired, still too many issues to count. Replacing it with a Pi running Ropieee in a Flirc case with a Topping HS02 USB isolator (which...

My 3F has nickel transformers, which are a bit warmer than the amorphous transformers in other 3Fs and the 3FN. From memory (it would take time to...
Mac Mini M1 16GB can do DSD256 and DAC corrections for Holo Spring 2 (and I'd guess Cyan 2) with some filters and modulators (in my case:...
Sylvie Courvoisier's "Ballad for my Dad" > HQP DSD256 > Holo May > Stellaris Special > ZMF Atrium Open: piano can't get any better
It's more like every 20 minutes for me. Very annoying. I have multiple Roon locations, a variety of endpoints. All wired, mostly UniFi networking...
I'm not asking mine to do anything more, for a Soekris dac2541. It worked correctly for a bit, then never again, always some connectivity glitch...
