| Holo Audio May DAC @jjss49 I think heās improved a bit. š He catches himself when says something dorky or goes off script and makes light of it. I only brought him up because I know he reviewed both DACS in question back to back, so I thought it was relevant. Since ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Ā @jjss49 Iāve heard one person say the Terminator+ is a bit brighter. I think it was a person who owned both, but it may have been a reviewer. It was a while agoRon at New Record Day on YouTube definitely preferred the Holo May KTE over the Termin... | |

| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Welcome to Tekton @protoss71. I was simply told to disregard these things.Ā Ā I will say, they sound awesome though.Ā | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @cal3713Ā No worries, glad to help. I'm convinced you would have to spend well over $12k-$15k to get near a comparable dac stateside.Ā | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @cal3713Ā I've own the Benchmark Media DAC 1, DAC 1 USB,Ā 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.Ā | |

| Holo Audio May DAC I got my May KTE DAC in way early. OMG! Iāll never buy a chip based DAC again. This thing makes music transcendental. Itās 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.Ā I do know he got rid of the midbass ports recently too. He also lowered the price from what I paid originally.Ā |
