Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3

"Calling China a communist country is laughable. They are "communists" when it suits them but in reality they are one of the most capitalist countries in the world, raw unbridled capitalism.

Unfortunately the economic systems they choose are overshadowed by totalitarianism which is why I prefer to send my money elsewhere when I have a choice."

Spot on!!!

Im not familiar with the Meitner MA3 though I’ve listened to the Meitner MA 1 V2 dac recently using a Korean manufactured server brand Rose Audio 150B  astounding , what I experienced its been constantly on my mind I’m seriously considering this combination.
There is much to like , the sound quality is exceptionally good and with some of the options and flexibility of the Rose server like 4K video feed to a 4K enabled TV is something to experience however the Meitner dac took the overall enjoyment up a couple levels.

Has anyone any newer comparisons to share about the difference between the May and the MA3 sonically?  I've had a May KTE for 2 years, and thinking of the MA3. 

I’ve owned both now, the Meitner is superior in every sense. Of course, it costs more but the inclusion of volume control and streaming capabilities more than makes up for difference in price. That’s not to say the Holo is a slouch, it’s very good, the Meitner is just in another class in my opinion.
