| Holo Audio May DAC OK, I've exceeded 500 hours now. I don't know what else to say. It's sublime. I've been streaming a variety of music form Qobuz, mostly jazz and rock. It's like cool clear water pouring from a faucet. Smooth, silky, without artifact, non-fati... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? Denafrips Aeries is superb for under a grand | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I'm currently at around 400 hours and continuing to run it. Sound great! | |
| Jerry Raskin’s ( AKA Needle Doctor ) passed away. Sad to hear this. The store has been closed for a while now. I was surprised that Jerry didn't sell the business to someone to keep it going. Anyway, he will be missed, much as his store is missed. RIP Jerry! | |
| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment Clearly your experience is not typical, and signifies that something is not right. I highly doubt that the USB cable is at fault (although a good cable can help get the most from a component). I have owned the Zenith Mk3 for almost two years and... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @jtrimm Nice write-up! As I wrote previously, the digital end of my system has taken a back seat to my analog set up, so I really haven't focused on burn time. I think I should maybe leave my system running while I'm not around to give it the ti... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @pgalvin I do not leave mine on 24/7. It runs pretty hot and whether it actually does or not, my perception is that it will shorten its lifespan if it's constantly left on. I also imagine that it's using a fair amount of energy being on, though I... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC As break-in goes, I heard great things from the May KTE right out of the box. Once I got 20-30 hours on it I thought it sounded slightly better (10% improvement?). Beyond that it sounds great and I haven't really thought much about it. I doubt ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @jeff_ss I sincerely believe you will not regret the decision to buy the May KTE DAC. It's amazing! | |
| Frail and Bedazzled @three_easy I used to feel that way in comparing, but recently got a game changer of a DAC. Since then the digital realm sounds nearly as good as analog. I often forget that I'm listening to digital when I'm using it. But, yes, I can hear the ... | |
| Frail and Bedazzled @troutki50 Congrats on your discoveries! Please let us know what your system make-up is. I have a lot invested into both my analog and my digital set-ups and can honestly say that the analog side is better, but my digital side is also amazing, ... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD versus Harbeth 40.2 My take is that the difference is so small it's not necessary to upgrade. The only reason to buy the 40.3XD is if you don't already own the 40 series speakers. That said, this hobby does not always bring out the most conservative decision making... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @jtrimm Congrats on the new DAC. I'm confident that you will love it the more you listen. Mine also had a slight edginess when first powered up, but no longer. I have about 200 hours on mine so far and it's awesome. Please share your impressio... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @peter_s I'm using the USB input feeding from my Innuous Zenith Mk3 Server to Phoenix reclocker. Sounds great. I don't think you'll be disappointed!Enjoy the new DAC!Peter | |
| I love sad music This collection of Bach Cello pieces by Janos Starker is so dark for me that I can't listen unless I'm in the right state of mind, but man is it moving and beautiful.https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/140354/Janos_Starker-Bach_Suites_For_Unaccompa... |
