I have the Terminator Plus with Gaia and like it a lot, but one thing you should consider is that the T+ has a higher than average output impedance since it drives the output directly from the resistor array and doesn't have an output buffer. If you are driving long cables or a preamp with a lower than average input impedance, you may find that the Holo May is a better fit.
Terminator plus vs Holo Audio may KTE
First I apologize for beating up a dead horse.
Lot have been written about the two dacs. Also on this forum.
First the cost the same in Denmark so it’s all about taste.
Some love the terminator other like Ron from NRD think that the May totally out perform the T2
GoldenSound also love the May but he’s a headphone guy
Visually I like them both. Okay the May is a little bit nicer and have a remote.
Have some listen to both and can summarize the sound of each DAC?
I would love to have them side by side for a week
then I could judge for my self.
Streaming is my only source. I have just begun to play around with DSD and high res. Also found out like most out there that files on disk sounds better. An unpleasant discovery.
Both of the DACs can take crazy high res files. Has dedicated DSD boards and all the bells and whistles I can think off.
