New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui

Currently have an original Schiit yggdrasil.  Thinking about taking another step up or maybe two steps!  Is the Holo May still good?  I know I hear a lot about Denafrips.  Then someone was mentioning Mola Mola. 

I like the idea of the i2s HDMI connection, I believe this is so I could have my DAC decode SACD versus a player. 

Also considering name brands dCS Lina, Meitner MA3, MSB?

Is anyone really winning in this space.  Tough for me to demo at home as I'm 2 hours from HiFi Shops and they are kind of limited in the direct to consumer DACs.

Thank you!

I enjoyed Holo Dac at Pacific Audiofest last year.

 

It is a pretty good Dac with clarity.

But best value will be Starkrimson Pecanpi+ which cost 900$.

 

It sounds close to Dave (modified with three Farad Lps) and Mscaler which cost 20k$.

 

Thus you had better be in line for tour of Pecanpi+ for home audition.

 

It may sound better than Yggdrasil and it also streams.
