| Holo Audio May DAC Hey cudfoo, yes indeed, it’s sublime. I am sure there’s better, but probably at two or three times the price.It’s just so much better than the DS in terms of decay, soundstage, tonality. You are literally transported to the recording location and ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Tarheelneil: the May is really well packed and protected (at least in Europe), so DOA is highly unlikely. And IME, a dac is unlikely to need repairs. I would worry about a CD player or transport, but not a dac. And if it does need repair, I have e... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC The May KTE is just amazing. I was listening to G Gloud in Bach 2 and 3 parts inventions, and something sounded wrong. I have had this cd forever and never noticed anything. Turns out Gould modded his Steinway piano and that’s why it doesn’t sound... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC You’re very welcome, cudfoo, and thank you. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC PLL is enabled but never takes more than a second or so to lock. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Nucleus + to Lumin U1 over Ethernet (Wireworld Platinum Ethernet cables), ChordMusic USB from Lumin to Matrix, RAL hdmi from Matrix to Holo. Matrix powered by Farad with all options. Wireworld silver power cables plugged into PSA P20. | |

| Holo Audio May DAC I recommend Chord Company USB cables. I have the ChordMusic, but a SarumT or something in a cheaper Chord range would work too. In my system, the ChordMusic was better than the Shunyata Omega and the Jorma Reference. The Chord Sarum T was better t... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC CudfooYes, I agree with Cleopatra, something must be wrong.My Holo May KTE trashed my PS Audio DSD from the first minute it was plugged in. | |
| PS auido Direct stream Dac Same experience, I confirm. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC And welcome to the club 🙂 | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I am not good at audiophile descriptions. It just sounds like what I hear at classical music concerts, and compared to the DS: bigger soundstage, more air, more acoustics of the recording space, more precise/less boomy bass, amazing cristalline cl... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC This DAC is amazing. Fed native pcm and dsd (no up or over sampling), in NOS mode, it wipes the floor with my PS Audio Directstream, with almost zero break in. And the PS Audio is a very good dac. I played the piano and went to a lot of classical ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I just received my Holo Audio May KTE a week ago.Wow !My PS Audio Directstream dac is for sale. |
