This was my original Spring DAC L3/KTE review. I still think it’s an excellent piece, though today you’d have to find one on the used market.
It’s little brother, the CYAN I reviewed here. This can be a DAC or DAC/Amp depending on whether you go with PCM or DSD DAC modules (both can play either format; on-board conversion is employed).
And then the AZURE amplifier, reviewed here, which is an physical and aesthetic match to the CYAN, an ideal pairing with the CYAN DSD (which has no internal amplifier) and an upgrade over the internal amplifier on the PCM version of the CYAN.

I’ll share some thoughts on the Spring 2 DAC and the new MAY DAC when I get a chance.
