| Borresen Loudspeakers I heard the X3's at the Capitol Audio Fest and I thought they were very good. If I were looking for speakers I would give them a serious consideration. I thought they sounded very good for the money but it was a short listen. | |
| Preamp for a GaN-FET amp... I have the Starkrimson and it's paired with a Holo pre. I really like it and I think it' may be as neutral sounding as you can get. A friend has the same amp and is using a Black Ice pre and he love's that as well. He's driving Cornwalls. Basicall... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I have to agree with JeremyJava on the Holo May KTE about the placement of instruments, particularly on a well recorded piano piece. You can really hear the spacing of notes from high to low. One other thing the May lets you do is play sacd's u... | |
| Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005 I would agree with teknorob23. Here are two videos that have a lot of good info on the May. | |
| Need speaker recommendations. I agree the ATC SCM40 speakers would be a great choice mainly because of the sealed cabinets. I also use Rythmik subs and other than the bass extension you can't tell that they are in the room. Very easy to set up. | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? I've had the Holo May Kitsune dac for about seven months and very satisfied. Everything that I input including a streamer, OPPO 203 (even SACD) and tv optical perform great. They haven't skimped on anything and the ability to trim the resistors on... | |
| My Last CD player I use an Oppo 203 player as a transport only, with the HDMI audio out port going to a black box from China (HDMI/MHL to IIS I2S HDMI IIS I2S Separate Extract Audio I2S/DSD/Optical/Coaxial). From there it goes to the I2S input of my Holo May dac. T... | |
| Best upgrade for cd player? If you get a good DAC then you you don't need to do anything to the Oppo. I have a Halo May DAC with the 203 and an I2S to HDMI converter that I can play all my cd's through including SACDs. Works and sounds great!!! | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? Holo Audio May!!! | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Just ordered the Holo May Kitsune. I talked to a friend who has listened to the Lampizator, Denafrips and the Holo and the winner is the Holo for sound quality. You can also buy it in the USA and it comes with a remote. Lead time is about five wee... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? I had an Onkyo AV pre that I replaced with the Parasound JC2BP. I think it made a huge difference in opening up the music for me. I'm guessing you are looking at the JC2BP not just for the sound quality but also for the bypass feature so you can s... | |
| 2k to 4k Streaming DAC I would start with a good DAC that has all the inputs that you will need. You can connect a tv with an optical input and you may also need an analog input (for ota) into your preamp, a coax from your Oppo, etc. This will improve audio a lot once y... |
