Holo Audio is known for its DACs, extreme build quality, and excellent sound, all with a high performance-to-price ratio. I am confident, based on my own experience and of feedback of those that had the exposure, that the much-discussed RED streamer will continue to build on Holo's reputation - the current worldwide shortage of these units is a testimony of how a small but focused company can make inroads in a tough market.
However, it is not only in the digital domain that Holo is making waves; the Serene Pre Amp, a discreet class-A full-function pre-amp, is also making inroads, and so is the Bliss a dedicated Headphone amplifier(more on this later, though). Based on the feedback from a very discerning user, the Serene is everything the following reviews highlight.
I hope you enjoy the videos and comments from Stereophile,

And the Exec summary from Herb Reichert
"Because the HoloAudio Serene preamp is so supertransparent—quiet, vivid, and flat-out exciting to use—I have already made it my one-and-only reference preamp. When coupled with Pass Labs' XA25 power amplifier, it is the most invisible audio amplification I've ever used."
