The New Kid on The Block is The Holo Audio Red Network Bridge Streamer that replaces my long and now lost love Sonore UltraRendu. Why did I change? Well, on first impressions, the SQ is superb even with new & cold caps, but I changed for future connectivity. The RED has loads of outputs compared to the UltraRendu and is a perfect match for my Holo Audio May KTE DAC. We’re burning in at the moment at 48hrs. I’m doing a ROON playlist loop for the next 10 days!

It stands out and probably sounds outstanding too.

It sounds as good as my “NOW FOR SALE if anyone is interested UltraRendu” 
with only a few hours burn in. I purchased the RED on Tuesday from Magna HiFi in Holland who also supplied The MAY to me. The RED arrived on Thursday, a superb service!

I had a red and was very happy with it. It is one solid and well built piece. I sold it as I was changing my setup and ended up with the DMP-6 for both dac and streamer.

How does the FS6706T perform? My i5 Nuc/ROCK is getting long in the tooth and I’ve narrowed my new Roon Server down to either an M2 Mac Mini, or the FS67. Any input would be appreciated.

Focals now on Sonority Design platforms and sounding good (if you can, search some out…)
Strictly speaking, they’re for floorstanders, but the Diablos on their stands are incredibly rigid (they’re screwed together) and really heavy (39kg), so whether the bottom half is box or leg is largely immaterial IMO - plus (as discussed in another post) they work a treat

It’s a shock to see the stands without dust

I’m surprised you let those go, Simon. You were always very enthusiastic about the difference they made.
Best wishes from HK!

Hi Phil, things change and ears age, but I’d still have kept them if they required less space. Some room changes just made them impossible. Still sounding pretty good without them fortunately

Sonority are not too far from me. He has designed and built a room from scratch with huge amounts of sound treatment /design, it has to be the best sounding room that I have ever heard bar none .
If you can , you should go and get a listen there. It is truly astonishing.
The bass traps alone are built into the building structure and are massive.

My last update completed my dream setup
Started some 55 years ago with something like this
I finally build the perfect set for me. Hifi savings account is empty and will not be filled again😂
Next upgrade probably hearing aid. Although I hope it’s gonna take a long time.

I somehow like this all the more for you putting in the early cassette recorder. My first “mix tape” was recorded in my friends basement going through his dad’s record collection. Drop the needle for a couple of seconds. Yay or nay. If we liked it, the recorder was placed next to the speaker: red rec button and play, drop the needle again until the end of the song. Years later I was intrigued to realize that every song we kept was a hit. Something to what makes a song special.
