I’ve had my Holo Audio May KTE for four months. This is a superb piece of gear. If it disappeared tomorrow I would replace it without reading a single review of any other DAC on the market. It is that good. With absolutely no break-in it was better than anything else I’ve ever owned. And my list of DACs includes units often mentioned on this forum. The build quality is first class. Four months later it surprises me every single day. For those of you waiting delivery, rest assured it’s worth the wait. Enjoy.
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
