DAC’s

Buy the Holo May and send it to me for modification.  Then you can be done with all of this.

Happy Listening.

@jerryg123 - do you have any experience with upgrading an audio component?

Why - simple, to achieve a better sounding system.

All mass produced products are built to a price point.  For example - when was the last time you looked at a point-to-point wired product.  Seen Audio Note Capacitors or Resistors in a product.  Custom wound transformers?  AC filter chokes, etc.  V-Capacitors?  Hardly ever!.

So by modifying a component with these types of parts upgrades you get to a level of sound quality you almost can never achieve with a mass produced audio product especially within the price points most people here have heard or purchased.  In fact, you can get to a reference level that most people have never heard before and most likely, never will with a mass produced product.

So I hope I have answered your question.

Happy Listening.

@JERRYG123 - your product may have some of that but (not really) but I asked to send me a Holo May DAC which has none of that.  Big difference between the two products.  But when I am finished with the Holo May, it will become a reference DAC that competes with most anything no matter what price range.

Happy Listening.

@jerryg123 - why would you think to buy a new unit when there are plenty of used ones on the market.  Yeah not the same as just putting a motor in another car.  My company manufacturers reference audio components and we have been repairing/upgrading/modifying them for 20+ years now. While parts can be a solution, we can also modify the circuits for improved sound quality.

If the OP is looking for the same old thing, so be it.  If he wants something special then that is another story.  He could buy one of our DACs but we are a little higher priced than $7K.

As far as "some tweaks and unsubstantiated claims" well then you don't have a clue who I am or anything about my company.  We do not advertise or look for reviews simply because we are in a different market then people here on this site.  What I offer is a way to improve sound for not much cost.  

You can read a review by another Agon member who has gotten to know us and who is learning about sound by searching this:

I am not here to promote our products but I am offering assistance in helping others achieve the best sound possible who don't have the money to afford something better.  I offer repairs and upgrades at reasonable costs to anyone interested.  I also offer everyone the opportunity to come to our Listening Room in New Jersey any time to listen, learn and enjoy.

Happy Listening.

@jerryg123 - love to have people stop by and listen to music in our dedicated Listening Room.  Speaker manufacturers are sending us speakers so that we can have people have a listen as there are not enough dealers around any longer.  PLUS we allow people to bring their gear so that they can hear speakers with their own equipment.  Try doing that with a dealer.

You spent some coin on your DAC but most people hear really do not spend that kind of money.  We can help them achieve really excellent sound by helping them with upgrading equipment.  It is an eye opening experience when someone stops by and we play something for them.  PLUS we get to hear other things and learn also.  Before we began manufacturing our own components, we were first audiophools also!

Happy Listening - all are welcome Northern New Jersey
