Holo Audio Bliss Measurements
The Holo Bliss is a product that goes a long way towards being an ultimate ‘endgame’ amp, it’s certainly not cheap, but there’s many reasons to justify that.
The Bliss however has a LOT about it that should please just about any audio enthusiast so long as the price isn’t an objection.

Conclusion:
Overall, the bliss performs amazingly well! Particularly the fact that you can get such massive power out of it whilst also being among the quietest amps for IEMs, combined with all other aspects of performance, this is a truly phenomenal design. Well done Jeff Zhu!

Tom (verified owner) –
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!
Antti (verified owner) –
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.

I just wanted to report back that the Bliss sounds fantastic! 😊
It sounded quite nice directly out of the box, but a bit rough. After
only 10 hours of burn-in things started to happen and the soundstage
opened up and the amp has great dynamics. Now after 48 hours of burn-in
it already sounds great and are improving by the hour.
It works nicely with any DAC you pair it with, but it really shines when
combined with the May DAC. My Hifiman Arya Stealth Magnet headphones
just sounds beautiful with the Bliss/may combination.
Bliss is simply the best solid state headphone amp I’ve listened to!
There is only one small complaint and that is that the display color is
slightly different than the May and Serene. It’s more light blue than
the more white display of the May and Serene which also is a bit
brighter. The copper buttons is also slightly different in color on the
Bliss.
I just love HoloAudio stuff and now I’m eagerly waiting to test the
HoloAudio Red.
