The TT-1 with the external Farad Super3 PSU sounds unbelievably good. I'm using it in combination with my Holo Audio May KTE DAC via I2S. The advice was to turn off PLL, and that turned out to be great advice. I compared both settings, but with PLL off, it sounds more relaxed and has a more natural timbre. 5 stars for the Matrix TT-1!

Really nice switch, this SS-1 PRO. Just a bit better than the standard SS-1 version. I’ve tried both. Since I have an external 10MHz clock, I went for the PRO. No regrets, and I even got a small discount at this shop when combined with the Matrix NT-1. Still, 4 stars because it’s quite pricey for a network switch.

What a stunning streamer! Pure quality in every way. The sound quality is absolutely breathtaking—that's what it’s all about. Excellent service from Magna Hifi. I’ll definitely be coming back!

After a listening session at Magna Hifi and a comparison with my own streamer, I surprisingly ended up choosing the Matrix TT-1 streamer. I initially wanted the Element-S, but the TT-1 was such an upgrade! Compared to the Red and my own (more expensive) streamer, it came out on top. At home, the difference was even bigger. Very happy with it!

I didn’t expect this. Magna Hifi had already mentioned it, but I was skeptical. It’s truly refreshing to complete the final step in my setup. You wouldn’t expect it, but it still happens…

From my self-modified switch to this Matrix SS-1. Unbelievable! Smoother and much more relaxed. The advice is to use the SFP ports as well—I still need to do that. Can't wait!

I am very happy with the sound quality and design. Once broken in, the unit really came alive.

The SingXer SU-2 came yesterday, as promised 👍 I followed your advices about the settings and finally replaced my good ol' SingXer F1 , linked them together with my ol' Denafrips Ares 2 , to give it a try. And that was pretty awesome out of the box ! After a 24 hour burn-in session , I plugged it to my Pontus 2 with dip-switch settings on SU-2 on PsAudio mode , did nothing on DAC setting ...and it worked fine since 😀👍 I'm using a 0.6m AudioQuest Cinnamon G48 HDMI for the connection. My source is a modified Intel NUC i7 running JRiver as player, Tidal Hifi for streaming , all this on HDplex linear PSU. Sure this new DDC will improve, again, my set-up.

Hello everyone, I had promised Jos ;). Here is my current conclusion about my HoloAudio experience. I ordered the HoloAudio RED and a HoloAudio Cyan2 at the end of October 2024. As expected, the advice, communication (thanks Jos), shipping and service were top notch. Many thanks to the wonderful team at MagnaHifi! HoloAudio! The devices are currently being hyped. What is my opinion? I am fully on board and love both devices! HoloAudio RED: I use it exclusively as a network bridge (ROON). I have integrated the chic, extremely solid little box into my network, booted it up, configured ROON (very easy). Since day one, the thing has been streaming absolutely stably. Not a single interruption, no lag, no reboot, (24/7 since the first start) TOP! With a network streamer, it's hard to say whether it has a significant impact on sound quality. What I can say, compared to my previous streamer. It streams absolutely reliably (currently ~300 hours of listening time) with zero background noise. I repeat: ZERO! ‘Pitch-black’ night. The Cyan2: A dream in my current audio chain (RED -> ROON Core @ dsd256 -> TA20Plus NOS Tube -> ZMF Atrium open). I won't get lost in long descriptions of the sound impression. Just this much. It is absolute pleasure. Currently, my rabbit hole seems to have come to an end. BUT, such HoloAudio bliss would still be interesting....sigh ;) Conclusion: I give both HoloAudio devices my absolute buy recommendation! Best regards, Peter

These monos exceeded my expectations, that given the reviews I saw only where already quite high. They are muscular, steady, detailed and refined. The bass i very controlled but not overdamped. I'm really 100% satisfied and in love with them, since they where exactly what my system was missing. They make everything I throw at them quite enjoyable. I previously had class D amp, and also a Benchmark AHB2 but I've never been this satisfied and engaged with my music. They don't look too bad either. My speakers are 4Ohms with 89db sensitivity and quite current hungry (Qualio IQ). My current frontend is of high quality (both digital and analog) and these 2 amps, even if comparatevily cheaper are at perfect ease. Grab a pair! Was my first time dealing with Magna Hifi and it was an absolute pleasing experience. It took 5 working days from order to delivery in the UK.

I own Eversolo DMP-A6 and wanted to improve the sound bypassing internal DAC, so i bought few months ago Holo Audio Cyan 2 from Jos and Rob. It was a great improvement, but i eventually wanted to "squeeze" even more out of my system. So i've decided to add SINGXER SU-6 in my chain, USB in from DMP-A6 ,I2S out to Cyan 2. It is another step up in sound, actually bigger than expected. The sound is now more relaxed and precise with bigger soundstage and for me personally money worth spent (this feeds into my Cayin KT88 tube amplifier and Dali Epicon 2, running Roon with wonderful HAF room correction by Thierry). Now of course i'm wondering how much better it would be to replace DMP-A6 and SU-6 with an high end transport i2S out (like Mano ULTRA mkIII.5 Farad), but for now i'll settle with this combo until audiophile bug bites me again. If you own a low-mid tier streamer with USB out only and very good external DAC with i2S input, adding SU-6 should be on your radar, as well. It's a wonderfull sound improvement. And Magna Hi-Fi's service was flawless, as usual. Thank you Jos and Rob!

I bought 2 of them Furutech Cables. They do extremely well with my Network/Streaming Devices combined with external linear power supplies! A real Improvment! Thak You Jos!

My old Netgear Switch improved so impressive from this Power Supply (with SR Pink fuse, Silver DC Cable and Farad AC Mains Cable) thus suddenly MP3 Streaming becomes a real alternative to High Res. Meanwhile I replaced it with a SoTM Highend Switch (which I bought also from Jos from Magna Hifi) anyway!

Der May läuft jetzt seit ca. 3 Wochen bei mir. Er braucht definitiv Zeit, (wie von Euch angemerkt ca. 250 Std.) um sich einzuspielen. Die Entwicklung in dieser Zeit ist aber schon bemerkenswert! Zu Beginn war für mein Empfinden der Klang nicht besonders breit, auch die Tiefe war eher gering. Nach 2 wochen Im NOS Mode sind die Klangfülle meines Erachtens am natürlichsten. Die Klangbühne ist breit u. Tief wie ich es mir gewünscht habe. Der Mode OS DSD spielt wie alle anderen in selbiger Lautstärke, mit einem ebenfalls weiten u. Breiten Klangbild. Jedenfalls ein faszinierendes Gerät, was hierbleiben darf.

The Holo May DAC is amazing every detail in the music mix is in sharp focus and the presentation of the music is very musical. The Holo May DAC is the most important upgrade I made, with regards to sound reproduction produced by my system. Thank you Jos to you and your team, all the very best to your business, from a very happy customer.

Wat een fijne versterker, muisstil, zwarte achtergrond. Super veel details, erg mooie plaatsing van instrumenten en artiesten. Superstrakke basweergave. Speel met een Meze 109 pro hoofdtelefoon. Had hiervoor een creek obh21 hoofdtelefoon versterker maar dit is zo een grote sprong voorwaarts dat heb ik niet durven dromen. Vragen werden snel serieus en eerlijk beantwoord. Kortom heel tevreden.
Rene January 22, 2025
This Bliss still needs to warm up for a while but already it's an amp that sings! The music flows as naturally as I remember 33T records and it really transports you! The choice between LO-Z and Hi-Z allows you to really have a different color of sound, and this is a great comfort. Great purchase and top service! I will definitely come back for a dac.
Thomas January 22, 2025
The amplifier- 4.5 stars. Very good class A . Sound wise I find it more enjoyable when compared to A90. Price/quality ratio is great with SA1. Measurements are also excellent (see ASR for Amir review). Magna Hifi service- 10 stars. Excellent pre and post sale customer service from Rob and Jos. My SA1 had an issue with power protection. I was promptly resolved. Based on my experience I strongly recommend Magna HiFi.
Gabriel January 22, 2025
This is a good amp for the price. Can easily compete with amps up to at least 1000 euros. Sound is more engaging and enjoyable than the good, but more sterile Topping family competitors. Thing I noticed is that the front switch doesn't really turn it off (it still keeps drawing about 3 watts), with the back switch it turns really off. Also this on/pre/pha switch can cause serious DC offset peaks, at least on the XLR-outs, which can be a serious issue with certain power amps driving speakers (Singxer needs to be turned on first and turned off last to prevent issues). Not sure if this is only my unit (btw I didn't put jumpers on the power supply protection circuit).
Jeroen January 22, 2025
This is my first "proper" AMP (I had a dragonfly before) and it just makes the music so engaging, lively and fun to listen to compared to some other amps I tried, even ones at twice it's price point. Also worth mentioning is that the staff at Magna have been great to me this whole time, there were a lot of delays due to Singxer but Rob and Jos were always honest with me and quick to respond to questions.
William January 22, 2025
Singxer SA1 is the best preamp for my headphones! It delivers 6 watts in class-A. Deep and rich soundstage. Happy customer - great Magna service!
Ivan January 22, 2025
I continue to enjoy my Singxer SDA 6 Pro 2. The DAC is clearly more resolving than my other DAC and deserves more publicity.
Lev January 22, 2025
Fantastic device! And really happy with the delivery as well.
James January 22, 2025
Fantastic preamplifier for an unprecedented low price! This is my best hi-fi purchase in recent years.
