Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
Thanks for the clarification, sorry if I misunderstood the connection setups.  Awesome you were able to compare side by side - that's usually difficult to do.  Enjoy in good health! 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@melm I haven't (intentionally) applied negatives to anything, not in the least.  I think we're talking a bit past each other.  It's all good. Analytic, warm, clean, neutral, vivid etc.. are all traits, non of which are negative.  They all have ... 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@melm Yeah it is a challenge to articulate all of the audio terms and as you pointed out everyone sort has there take.  Clear/edginess > analytical side, warm/sweet = analogue'ish, but point taken and I get what you are saying :)  The OP did a ...

Looking at the internals of the 005, is it just me or do the builds between holo and 005 look similar?  Either way, both have ridiculously good build quality

@sns I understand and well aware - I stated that the new Spring3 would be more apples to apples (similar price, single chassis etc.).  I'm also aware may level 2 has the custom (Titanis) USB 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
Nice write up, thanks for taking the time to share. Seems like the Spring3 at ~ $3300 is more of an apples to apples comparo though. The custom USB on KTE lines by all accounts appear to be superior than other inputs (in the HOLO products). The US... 
Holo Audio May DAC
A couple things- if it’s being shipped to you in a matter of days then it’s already built (obviously) and with a lead time of 6 week build time to ship, your cancellation is very late in the process.  They would lose a lot of money on a unit just ... 
How long does Class A have?
I'm thinking I may have to add two more pass XA's to my rig, ya know just for the tweeters :)  Long live class A. Nothing like 'em.   
Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator
@rooze good to know.  I’ve been using an OpticalRendu as an naa for HQP and SQ is pretty damn good.  I’m just curious about the Aurender architecture  
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
This is great news for Innuos users, competition is great, especially for roon. I would like to try a Innuos setup (no real easy way) as well as euphony, which I think is possible as they have a trial image you can put on a stick and boot to it.ht... 
Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator
I'm a bit confused - wouldn't / shouldn't the N100 > DAC trump the three new items in the chain going to DAC?  I've never used an aurender product yet, but they do seem appealing and by all accounts offer fantastic SQ?I myself have a somewhat c... 
Doge 7 tube DAC
jjss49  - +1 on your D7 findings as well.  The AN 4.1 + sonnet have been on my radar. 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Have you look at the DRDB to see what you got, and "PLEASE" give us the Cat no. of the streamed ones you managed to get form Qobuz so we can all see? As this on is the rubbish latest release from them https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/5844... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
@riaaRed,Your ASSUMING that the labels arent giving the services the data. Perhaps the info IS given and the services are choosing not to give you that info. Could be they dont WANT you to see the data so you cant do your due diligence and comp... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
@georgehifiThe streaming companies need to give the album Cat No. with all their streams/downloads, so you can find for yourself on the DRDB if your paying for and listening to compressed rubbish. That would be great and should be available wit...
