The HE1 mk3 is preamp is one impressive, heavy beast!
Even at lower volumes, the sound is lively. At higher volumes it remains solid as a rock. It's a beast with a sweet side.
The extra gain options make this preamp even more versatile. Only the size (especially the depth) is not for everyone, you need 50-55cm depth.

The SU2 is great, taking advantage of its 10Mhz master clock input. Great feature! I can't remember such positive results from a single purchase. I ended up buying a 2nd one for my other system.

This streamer is good very transparent, with a large soundstage. The rendering is very fluid and always natural, it is much better than a IFI AUDIO ZEN ONE SIGNATURE which is for sale now.
Tested in coaxial output on two different dacs.

the EverSolo DMP-A6 is a breath of fresh air in the present... View

This product gives you the "Apple" feeling :-) Product but also packaging both aesthetically. Very good device delivered with high quality cables and a remote control. The sound quality is amazing, a fairly wide soundstage and detail. At this price it is simply unbeatable! I think this is a great product, but when you are using for the ultimate sound quality, I have heard better options like the Matrix Element-S or Element X2 streamers.

The sound is really excellent, without exaggerating, precise and clear. The interface is fast and hassle-free. The unit is very easy to use via its touch screen and the possibility of casting this screen on your phone, a must for piloting from the sofa. It supports without any issue Amazon music in 192khz
I installed a 256GB SSD drive in the unit for my local music files. All in all a great unit for a very attractive price!

Singxer, SA1 is a full balance class A headphone Amplifier and preamplifier.... View

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).

The new Purple Fuse surpasses the Orange Fuse with its impossible combination... View

After having the Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE dac for almost 2 years now, and having switch the Holo Fuse right in the beginning to a SR Orange fuse, I finally upgraded to the Purple version. And all I can say is, that it is a significant audible upgrade (if your system is good enough), and all that people have stated here and on other forums/websites about the SR Purple fuse being good is in my opinion correct.

I doubted for a long time whether the ESS DAC would not be the analytical one for me. Jos assured me that this is by no means the case with Audio-GD. Finally ordered and now a few weeks in my possession. I listen through my Audeze LCD-2. Wonderful combination! Tight and deep low and sparkling high with voices that are rock solid.
Thanks, great purchase!

Mano Ultra mk3 Farad music streamer is the ultimate streaming endpoint for... View

Set up was a breeze. Roon recognized the unit immediately, in two versions ASLA and Airplay.

What strikes me immediately is the “musical insight” created from the tonal and harmonic properties the Mano reproduces, set within an acoustic field that is deep and wide. Metaphors come to mind such as ‘fullness’, ‘body’, ‘naturalness’. The musical insight carries over to rhythm, just the right forward movement. The tone overall is warmish, appealing, devoid of digital glare. (As I write I am listening to S. Richter playing the Eroica Variations - full-throated piano tone!)
The power cable no doubt contributes to the overall effect.
I am impressed … and know for sure that I have received a musical gift.

Mano Ultra mk3 Farad music streamer is the ultimate streaming endpoint for... View

I purchased the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll about 3 months ago, as the new PS DirectSteam

Mk-ll does not have the network bridge as the DS-1

The Mano-Ultra Mk-lll is simply an outstanding music streamer…it out performed the install network bridge in the DS-1 in transparency, resolution, and sound stage

depth and width

In fact playing a track on the PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player Mk-Il, then switching to the same track on Qobuz through the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll is almost impossible to tell the difference..it’s that great

I am using I2S connection, but I installed a custom made 110 ohm digital cable made from Mogami AES-EBU Cable and difference is hard to hear…

If have the knowledge the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll can be set up for YouTube as an app to be controlled by the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll same as Qobuz or Tidal bypassing AIRPLAY…

The Guys at Magna HiFi are great for technical support…Rob especially help me understand how to setup the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll

THE MANO-ULTRA MK-lll is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Mano Ultra mk3 Farad music streamer is the ultimate streaming endpoint for... View

Salut,
Premier retour sur ce streamer après une semaine de rodage et de tests.
Après avoir testé Moode puis ropeee, je suis passé à gentooplayer, c’est de loin la meilleure solution, le rendu est remarquable. Mon Holo red est déjà revendu et mon wattson digital ne peut pas suivre malgré son homogénéité. Le Mano va plus loin : plus le signal est complexe, plus il creuse l’écart. Il y a plus de détails, tout reste toujours en place, le grave est plus défini et profond, les voix sont plus denses, les aigus jamais stridents comme parfois avec le red, mais surtout, le message n’est jamais analytique, la musique est toujours fluide et cohérente, engageante. Une grande source à prix raisonnable, merci!
Bonus : la liaison i2s par câble HDMI Audioquest du site magna avec mon dac Extraudio est au moins aussi bonne voire meilleure qu’en aes avec un câble numérique Jorma design a 1200€…

Translation in English (by Google) is:
Hello, I think I had it all before I came across Mano Ultra Mkiii. After an hour of gameplay I decided that there is no need to turn on Auralic Aries 1.1 because there is no comparison. I went ahead and thought I deserved a review with the T1 Lumin vs Mano MKiii, I ran out of the Auralic and Lumin sold 😀. As far as I'm concerned, the best streaming I've had so far. Thank you Magna 🙏 Of course I bought all sorts of extras and I don't regret a cent.

Hallo, ich glaube, ich hatte schon alles, bis ich auf Mano Ultra Mkiii stieß. Nach einer Stunde Spielzeit habe ich beschlossen, dass es nicht notwendig ist, Auralic Aries 1.1 einzuschalten, weil es keinen Vergleich gibt. Ich ging weiter und dachte, ich würde einen Test mit dem T1 Lumin vs Mano MKiii verdienen, mir ging der Auralic aus und Lumin verkauft 😀. Was mich betrifft, das beste Streaming, das ich bisher hatte. Danke Magna 🙏Ich habe natürlich alle möglichen Extras gekauft und ich bereue keinen Cent.

Setting up the Element S was een easy task. I really like the Matrix App. I listen mostly to Qobuz streaming service. So far I am really happy with this streamer. The design is nice, the features are great and last but not least the sound is amazing! (Using I2S output to my Holo May DAC)

Simply amazing headphone amplifier. Soundstage is just incredible and the sound is very authoritative. If Superman was a headphone amplifier, it would be Bliss. Powerful, refined and perfect.

The streamer is exceptional and if the purchased through a normal dealer network would cost a lot more.
The only reason i have not given 5 stars is because there is no WiFi possibility. I am however extremely happy with the sound quality of this device. The sound quality exceeds my expectations.

It sounds fantastic right from the start. Compared to my other expensive headphone amplifier: The sound is more refined, with better instrument separation and more holographic sound stage. And everything is more calm, the music so easily flows into the ears. Another brilliant unit from Holo Audio!

I am so happy, withinthe first minutes - and this is ONLY with a quick test that everything is working - a simple RCA connection / SE out. I plugged in my HIfiman HE6sev2 - just to start with the bigger drive challenge and my goodness - from the first minute on - magic. And I will get some balanced signal into it tomorrow. I can see a great music listening wonderful journey ahead.

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
