Streaming Phantoms with HOLO RED, great SQ upgrade. - Johnnydev - 04-Jul-2023 Would like to share something with you about a nice upgrade for the devialet phantoms. I recently connected a HOLO RED to my phantoms as a streamer and have never made such a big step in SQ improvement. The HOLO RED is connected with only LAN ethernet and OPTICAL out to the phantom. I have owned phantoms since 2014, first the silver, later the gold and now the phantoms I matte white. My hobby is to make the smallest speakers sound as big and hi-end as possible. Many tweaks have been carried out over the years with a slightly better result: - Audioquest cabling and the niagara 1200. - Uptone EtherRegen. - Replaced all SMPS by LPS. - Roon - etc. The biggest upgrade and my last right now is really the Holo Red. More “high-end” on all factors. This is probably partly caused because the Holo Red is optically connected to the phantom and a galvanic separation can therefore take place at the last. What also seems to be possible is that the Holo Red in combination with a powerfull computer, can run Roon and HQ player and with the installation of gentooplayer even DIRETTA. I haven’t tried HQplayer and Diretta yet, only Roon and that is already fantastic. For me it’s such a big upgrade that i wanted to share this anyway. |
