Spring 3 KTE
The HoloAudio Spring 3 is a discrete resistor-ladder DAC using a dual R2R architecture with linear compensation for PCM and a discrete resistor-ladder architecture optimized for native DSD, without an off-the-shelf DAC chip. It uses PLL+FIFO jitter reduction, a femtosecond VCXO clock, proprietary low-latency USB firmware, and HDMI-I²S, USB, RCA coaxial, BNC coaxial, AES, and optical inputs. Its pure Class A discrete output stage provides 2.9 Vrms via RCA and 5.8 Vrms via XLR, with 27-ohm RCA and 54-ohm XLR output impedance; an optional factory-installed fully balanced 84-step analog preamplifier is available.
