Holo Audio May DAC

I just pulled the trigger on a May KTE edition today.  This will potentially replace my PS Audio DirectStream DAC which I'm currently very happy with.  (The new Sunlight firmware update is great.)  I'm looking to move on from the DSD DAC because I don't want to be stuck long term with a discontinued product, but I won't hesitate to hold on to it for longer if the May KTE doesn't work out.  

Question for existing May KTE and/or DSD DAC owners who also have the Matrix X-SPDIF 2... I have the Matrix now and haven't noticed any difference in sound with my DSD DAC when running my Roon Nucleus to the Matrix (USB) out to the DSD DAC (HDMI/i2s) versus just using the network bridge in the DSD DAC.  Is that based on the streamer limitations in the Nucleus?  And would/does the May KTE really benefit from the Matrix/i2s connection?

My May KTE arrived today and I concur with some of the earlier posts that the initial sound out of the box isn't impressive (and not at the same level as my PS Audio DSD DAC).  But I was expecting that and am looking forward to having my first real impression in about a week's time after I can get 100 hours on it.  I'm going to start with USB direct into my Nucleus, but will eventually give I2S a go through the Matrix.  I also need to upgrade my power cable on the Nucleus which should boost the overall sound as well.  (My long term goal is to get a dedicated streamer, however, for the system.  Possibly a Lumin U1, Sonore Signature Rendu SE or the upcoming PS Audio Octave streamer...)

I was going to wait until I had a full week of burn-in before I did any extended listening with the May KTE, but I turned on the amp yesterday around the 24-hour mark to see how things were going.  There was still some significant abrasiveness on the top-end and the bass was a bit muddy, but I was also noticing that the sound stage and overall resolution had started to clean up.  

I left my amp on for the next 8 hours and could hear more and more improvement coming through.  The issues with the treble and bass were slowly fading as well.  I know it’s cliche, but I started hearing elements in songs that I had never noticed before in either my PS Audio DSD or Lumin T2.  In terms of the overall presentation (at least as of yesterday), I would say the sound was a lot closer to the T2 than the PSA DSD.  The soundstage wasn’t as forward nor had the same weight as the PSA DSD.  

I’m looking forward to hearing how it sounds after I get back home in a few days.

@vinylshadow - It depends on the rest of your system (amp, speakers, cables, etc.) and where you intend your system to be in the near/mid-future.
