Holfi Audio International was a Danish high-end audio equipment manufacturer operating under Bernic ApS, specializing in premium amplifiers, speakers, SACD/CD players, and phono preamplifiers with unique design philosophies emphasizing zero-feedback (NFB) circuits and battery-powered power supplies. Active primarily in the early 2000s, the company produced distinctive products like the Xaurus NFB Rex CD player (€3,250) and Integra 88 SE integrated amplifier (€3,300), featuring solid wood front panels and focusing on 'homogeneous and easy flowing musical reproduction' with claimed dynamic ranges up to 8Hz-1.3MHz. The company appears to have ceased operations or become inactive by approximately 2010-2011, with customer reports of unresponsive communication and no recent product development. Bernic ApS, the parent company, has since transitioned to manufacturing DIN rail enclosures for industrial applications, effectively ending Holfi's presence in the Danish high-fidelity audio market despite their innovative battery-powered and current amplifier designs that garnered positive reviews from audiophile publications.
