| Holo Audio May DAC @falconquest Sorry to torture you. I can't help myself! ;)2nd day impressions:All tracks played from Tidal on ROON. Bill Evans Sunday at the Village Vanguard is sounding like I've never heard before. Those familiar with this recording will kn... | |
| Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways This is one of his best albums ever. The more I listen to it the more its intricacies reveal themselves.Just love this record. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I got mine today and have had it running for a few hours now. I am always leery of posting impressions of something I've had so little time with as I'm certain to have some bias in my excitement to try something new. That said, it sounds wonderf... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC They do offer a 10 day trial. That's not a lot, but it's also not nothing. Mine is out for delivery. Should get it today. | |
| Affects of Badly Centered Hole @best-groove I'd say mine is equal to or greater than yours. | |
| The musical wisdom of Ry Cooder. I'm a recent Cooder convert. He is just an amazing musician. Each new (to me) album I listen to of his is a revelation. I recently found a NOS copy of Pull Up Some Dust on vinyl and I cannot stop listening to it. I have a feeling it won't be l... | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? I always listen with the grilles on (40.2A). I have tried them with grilles off and preferred the grilles on. They sound great either way, but to my ears they sound better balanced with them on. There is a slight increase in the highs and mids ... | |
| I2S Input - Is It Better? I wrote to Tim Connor at Holo Audio about this and here is what he wrote in response (My question was in regards to using a Jay's Audio CD Transport with the May DAC):"The May dac has two i2s inputs and they are both configurable to any i2s pin ou... | |
| I2S Input - Is It Better? Who ever thought this could be so confusing? Anyway, I ordered a Holo Audio May DAC and my CD transport is a Jay's Audio CD-2MK2. The transport has an I2S output and the DAC has an I2S input. I'm going to contact the two manufacturers to see wh... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I placed my order for the KTE version this morning. It will be a few weeks before it arrives and I will happily share my impressions of it once I have it and have enough time to break it in and assess its SQ.In the process of searching for my nex... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @georgehifi Your findings seem to jive with the reviews I have read. The recent review of the May DAC in Stereophile is a good example of this. Other reviews I've heard seem to concur. Cheers | |
| Lumin X1 with Innuous Zenith Mk3 Question I'm actually searching for a DAC upgrade, not a server upgrade. I mistakenly thought the X1 was a full featured DAC with streamer capabilities built in, but now I realize that it's a streamer first with an excellent DAC built-in. I'm moving on t... | |
| Lumin X1 with Innuous Zenith Mk3 Question I just realized that my question is basically moot after learning that the X1 does not include any digital inputs. I wrongly assumed that it had full DAC features but now realize that it's designed primarily as a streaming device. That's too bad... | |
| Lumin X1 with Innuous Zenith Mk3 Question @nekoaudio Thanks for your response. Very helpful | |
| This looks like a terrible investment I've found during the corona era that high quality vinyl has become harder to find. Many of the MoFi titles are sold out or on back order like never before. Once they come in stock they immediately sell out. I think this guy's problem is that m... |
