I run my Jay's Audio CD transport into a Helen Titan jitter reduction then into a modded Holo Springs DAC feeding a hybrid Black Ice pre amp going modded Ampzilla monoblock amps feeding modded Silverline Sonata speakers. Inserting the dac into this system was sublime. The Holo DAC is off the hook natural sounding with great dimensionality.
Holo Audio May DAC
Just read a very nice review of this in Stereophile this month and after doing some research it looks like this one could be a very nice option for me.

It's made in China I think (or could be Taiwan?, and yes, I am very well aware that these are two very different countries. ;)), and employs a direct to consumer model to keep the price as low as possible. This does not worry me after purchasing a Jay's Audio transport from Vinshine Audio and having zero issues.
Just curious if anyone here has heard one or purchased? I'm very intrigued. I know the Denafrips Terminator is another highly regarded DAC with a similar ordering model, but costs a couple grand more than this one. Considering that one as well.
Thanks
