I thought I would send you some initial listening impressions after a longer music session last night.
In a word ‘Wow!’
I have ‘tested’ the Serene KTE preamp using my Technics SL 1200G turntable and some high quality half-speed mastered vinyl recordings.
These sounded even better than when played through my Schiit Freya S balanced preamp.
Both the May KTE and Serene KTE are clearly superbly designed and built products.
It was a bit of a gamble spending so much when I already had a good DAC and Preamp, but the new Holo audio gear has exceeded all expectations.
I think I now have my ‘end game’ audio system..for now 😉
Thanks you Jos and Rob for your advice and help.

I thought I would send you some initial listening impressions after a longer music session last night.
In a word ‘Wow!’
Any doubts I had about the May KTE’s ability to match the dynamic sound of my Schiit Yggdrasil DAC (which I loved) evaporated when I played some really well-recorded, CDs with huge dynamic range.
The sound was explosive!
I listened to all sorts of genres- Rock, Jazz, Folk, Classical..and whatever I tried, it all sounded ‘right’.
The PLL is incredible!
My old Logitech Transporter’s sound quality via BNC is almost indistinguishable from Jay’s CDT vis I2S.
A remarkable achievement.

I received Serene last Thursday and I`ve to say that the waiting time until delivery.
Was worth every minute.
Out of the box a beautiful peace of gear that sounded great from the beginning.
Now after approx. 80h of burn-in it impressed more and more.
Especially soundstage depth improved and the holographic sound together
with a pin-point imaging cached me. Never heart my system so good before.
I`ve also paired output 2 with my Meze Elite Headphone: you enter audio nirvana immediately.
It sounded so right, relaxed, smooth but totally transparent with perfect textured bass.
It's like being on drugs, one song after the other, never stop it – just listen to music more and more…

Something for music addicts-
I can only compare it to an Audio gd NFB 27.77 (ESS 9038 Pro) and it is better in every aspect. It has the Magna Hifi silver update. Sounds very natural and revealing, detailled, spacious and dynamic. Has no difficulties with showing the beauty of Al Greens voice or the power of a track by Slayer. I listened to Ali Farka Toure today and the Sleaford Mods and with both had the impression, that it sounds as it should sound.
I use it together with a PC as source, Audio gd DI 20 HE and a Mutec Ref 10, an additional power filter and pure silver cables.
And Jos gave great support.

I have tried both the Gentoo player and Roopieee XL configuration to use as Roonbridge. I recommend Gentoo player software, it has more microinfo and better 3D image. This combo is fantastic! My Holo Spring KTE connected via I2S is now giving its best in combination with the Mano Ultra MKIII. I strongly recomend this streamer for Holo DACs or any other DAC. Great support from Jos & Rob, they answer all questions!

I received the Holo Spring 3 KTE a few days ago. Just a few hours after listening to it , I had a big smile on my face. It's a great DAC that excited me right away. In the few tests/reviews that I have read on the Internet (I unfortunately had no opportunity to listen to the Spring 3 before) was not overly reported about the device. On the contrary, my expectations were more than exceeded. I am already very happy with the DAC.

I am very satisfied with it. It has a place in the high end category. Worth the price. The music became much more focused and detailed. I had a Dac with an AKK chip. This R2R is much more analog, more natural.

The Mano Ultra mk3 sounds great! Well done! 😊
I have only used it for 48 hours so far so it's not fully burnt in I guess, still it sounds great. I use it as a pure Roon endpoint and I've tested the supplied MoOde Player 32-bit v7.25 which I upgraded to v7.30
and installed the Roon Bridge, everything else turned off in MoOde. Later I switched to MoOde Player 64-bit v8.25 and it sounded even better. I also tested the Ropieee 2023.02. It also sounds nice, but I
think I prefer the MoOde Player 64-bit v8.2. I have yet to try your recommendation of the GentooPlayer, but I will have to obtain a test license first.
The Mano Ultra mk3 leaves the HoloAudio Red and the iFi Zen streamer miles behind. The Mano Ultra mk3 is even better than the Lumin U2 mini streamer at twice the cost behind, which I also have tested.

Wow…incredible performance. Anyone who says you can’t tell the difference between dacs once certain measurement goals are reached leaves me scratching my head.
The Holo replaced a modified Topping D90 and it was an obvious improvement straight out-of-the- box.
After a few weeks it just kept getting better. On one memorable occasion I looked up and thought, damn I’ve accidentally pushed the loudness button on the Luxman, but no, just extra proper bass had suddenly come on song.
So I immediately had to go back and start again with all the favourite CDs I’d been listening to.
And all this is plain vanilla 16/44 cd replay and 70 year old ears!
Great service…great product.

True balanced discrete preamplfier with integrated regenerative analogue power supply. Non- feedback... View
After initially being very happy with the sound straight out of the box, I found that it held back the macro dynamics a bit, and I lacked deep bass with body and sharpness. The resolution wasn't quite top notch either. But this turned out to change, quite drastically in fact, in the first month that the preamp was left up and running. Nowadays, I can't find anything to complain about (well yes, one little thing; se below): this is without a doubt the best preamp I've ever owned or even tried at home, and then I still had a preamp at home for test that cost about 15,000 euros when new! This says a lot about the sensational sound quality vs the price ratio you get with the HE1 -MK2 preamp. One result of this is, for example, that the preamp responds extremely clearly to cable changes - you immediately and very revealingly hear which cable has a higher or lower quality. Five stars all the way!!
However, I have a small remark, which I include in the following:
The front step's left button, on the right side of the display, has three functions:
1. Press it once, and a blue dot will appear, which determines whether you want the automatic shutdown of the display, or whether you want it to be always on. (One nitpick: it would have been nice to have two modes of brightness of the display, to switch between.)
2. Press it quickly twice, and you will get to the pre-volume function, which is intended to adapt signal sources with different output levels to achieve the same degree of volume. LEAVE THIS FEATURE, if you don't feel you have to use it, and deteriorate the sound! I feel that the sound is affected noticeably with this function - it gives a filter effect which is obvious, if you compare it with mode 9 (no pre-volume). Even when you compensate the db. However, feel free to try it and form your own opinion.
3. Press the button quickly three times, and you will enter the preamp's two gain modes: either 6 db or 16 db gain. This feature is very useful! I use the pre-stage with the 6 db mode and find no penalty between the two settings, either than obviously different gain.
All in all: a wonderful preamp that is more than worth its asking price. And, you can buy with confidence: Jos and Magna Hifi gave me great service and a quick response to all my (many) questions.

Easy, smooth and very pleasant transaction, as always is with Magna Hifi guys.
I think Bliss deserves a spot in solid state hall of fame. It has has both an amazing sound quality and an amazing character. It can run literally any headphones well, has all the necessary features and doesn't have any obvious flaws. For many it may be the end of the road in the search for a perfect solid state headphone amp. It was for me. It's a bliss :).

Seems to work well with my Wireworld Silver Sphere HDMI cable and my Holo May KTE.
My whole system sounds ‘right’ now in a way I’ve never heard before. It’s a feeling that’s similar across all input formats and musical genres. Excellent soundstage, neutral frequency response, realistic timbre, excellent micro detail, good low end drive and the blackest of black backgrounds.

I own the HE-1 MK2 pre amplifier and the Master 3A power amplifier and I can assure anyone this combi is hard to beat.
I did hear a lot of amplifiers like Hegel, Classe, Accuphase etc. but non of them can beat Audio-GD.
I use them in combination with a HiFi Rose RS150 streamer and Dali Epicon 6 speakers
Sounds like heaven!
Would be great if some hifi magazine would dare to test this brand compared to other well known high end brands.

Audio-GD R28 mk2 Balanced pre- & headphone amplifier with discrete R-2R digital... View
Bought the R28 2022 version: what a purchase! I regrettably no longer have the HE6SEv2 and I bet this beast would drive those as a charm. The DAC portion of the device is also very satifying and it took me a bit to get uesed to it (brain or hardware burn-in? I will never know...). Coming from a Violectric V200 I thought I was akready enjoying a warmer than average sound delivery but this takes it to another level.
I have yet to decide if I prefer NOS or OS. The effect of the vynil record simulation, which is suppposed to provide the smoothest setting, isn't yet clear to me and I don't hear much of a difference. Using it mostly with HD800S and Arya Sealth Edition. It also proved an outstanding match for my Beyerdynamic T90 whos high register is less extreme with this amplifier than it is also with a (modest) tube amp such as the Little dot mk III, which I am now selling. Indeed it seems that the same sonic results of OTL tube amplification can be obtained by the R28: not sure if it is just due to the R2R decoding or if also the amplifier plays a role.
Great service from Magnahifi is the icing on the cake.
