This is fine. I didn't say anything against that idea ;)

 

I am saying, is no point to pump the balloon about those numbers.

You wont say,  Holo is better than any Total DAC or DCS Vivaldi because can do DSD1024, aren't you?

 

I guess it's better in the sense that it supports a higher DSD rate. Whether that translates to an audible improvement is certainly questionable and remains to be seen (heard?)

Do I2S cables separate the digital clock from the digital data? Can that help with jitter?

They do.

I have no idea - never used an I2S cable in my life.

 

I did. About 25 years ago with all Audio Alchemy equipment :) Used all I2S connectors from transport to multiple de-jittering devices+DSP to DAC. It sounded amazing!

 

And more recently, between SU-1 and Holo Spring 1. Also used USB-100 DDC with I2S. Tried various short LVDS/HDMI I2S cables. Modded SU-1 with better power, regulators, installed a sorted, very low phase noise oscillator. Sounded good when I tested it. A while back I switched to use USB input directly, bypassing SU-1. Sounds just as good in my opinion. I've not turned on the SU-1 since then. YMMV.
