| Holo Audio May DAC @tarheeltraveler I'm in complete agreement with your comments. I freaking love my Holo May KTE DAC more than any other and I'll never listen to a chip based DAC again. Simply, it's a perfect piece and a daily joy.Jon in Raleigh, NC | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I loved my Double Impacts, but I'm in love with my Encores. I still have no intention of upgrading anytime ever. To me, the MTM array gives you more detail, no harshness, and better sound staging. The bass is a huge upgrade over my DIs. They wer... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @lordcloud Sorry for the delay, I don’t get updates on this thread even though I’m subscribed for some reason.The Benchmark DAC3 HGC is a great Sabre chip based dac, but the Matrix XSabre Pro MQA DAC is $2k and a superior sounding dac. There’s a s... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I've had my Holo May KTE DAC for a couple of months now. It's as impressive today as it was the day I got it. It never dissapoints. I do now use HQPLAYER and Roon, but I actually prefer PCM 20bits (per Jussi)/1.536MHZ to DSD512. I find it a tad... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Welcome to Tekton @protoss71. I was simply told to disregard these things. I will say, they sound awesome though. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @cal3713 No worries, glad to help. I'm convinced you would have to spend well over $12k-$15k to get near a comparable dac stateside. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @cal3713 I've own the Benchmark Media DAC 1, DAC 1 USB, DAC 2 HGC, and the Matrix XSabre Pro MQA DAC, Ayon Stealth DAC/Pre tube dac. I've heard others at shows, but those are the one I've owned over 20 years. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @snackeyp Thanks, It's been a nonstop marathon of music playing since I've received the May! I am (and have been for 20 years) running source direct to my amplifiers because I have no analog sources to speak of, and have always preferred the more ... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Congrats dude, have fun! | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @protoss71 I had both 4/8ohm taps on my Art Audio and my Allnic A6000 Monoblocks. The Encore is a 4ohm speaker. Congrats on getting yours in. Update us when you come. I'm really enjoying my Friday with my new Holo Audio May KTE r2r dac that sho... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I got my May KTE DAC in way early. OMG! I’ll never buy a chip based DAC again. This thing makes music transcendental. It’s so damned detailed and yet so natural sounding. I hear everything, every little microdynamic nuance. This has surpassed my g... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @protoss71 Yeah I copied what used to be on site a couple of years ago. Not sure how mine compare to the newest ones produced. I do know he got rid of the midbass ports recently too. He also lowered the price from what I paid originally. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @protoss71 Great that they are shipping soon! I've heard the EML 300BXLS can last 40k hours, but I assumed that was in a 300b circuit which makes the tube loaf at 8w. My Allnics are Quad Parallel 300bxls SET Monoblocks require 4 pairs of 300bxls... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @protoss71 Congrats on getting Encores. You will love them! I waited about 6 months for mine, but I knew that going in it was going to take a long time since it was a new model. Let us know when you get them how you like them. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @redwoodaudio That's very good to hear. I'm glad you're enjoying the May. Can't wait to get mine! |
