Would this benefit a DAC such as a Holo Audio May KTE that already has excellent USB implementation and Galvanic USB isolation when streaming from a PC?    
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
For me it was Magneplaner Tympani speakers in the late 70's. They were using ARC electronics and I was amazed at the sound.   
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
This topic just goes to show you there are no absolutes in this hobby! The OP asks a question, and he gets almost entirely different answers from most people! This is why we see so many arguments in the forums. I guess everyone's experiences and e...

@gladmo Thanks for this information. I already had Zavfino Fusion XLR interconnects. I decided to buy DH Labs Silver Sonic USB instead of the Zavfino since I couldn't find any reviews.  
STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
I stream both Tidal and Qobuz through Roon and honestly despite the Tidal haters it sounds fine!  
Which device makes for a better digital music source? Computer or streamer?
I personally think the decision on if you should have a dedicated streamer or computer is dependent on what you are looking to do. If you want no fuss and your main concern is just listening to music then by all means a dedicated streamer will mak... 
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
The quality of your DAC's USB is critical here! My DAC has Galvanic Isolation, and this makes a big difference.   
Holo MAY KTE DAC/ Kitsune Hi FI, Lynnwood Washington
  @audioman58 You mention the Terminator has oversized power supply and has better bass than the Holo May? It made me laugh considering the Holo May has an entire shelf dedicated for a power supply also. I'm pretty sure its also way oversized for...

Anyone here ever try the Zavfino MAJESTIC USB cable?  
Wow....just look at this guy's car audio.....
His home stereo in his car exceeds the value of his car!  
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
What's funny is if you look at forums on DACS over $3000, you will find that hardly anyone will criticize the DAC they bought. You always have a couple negative reviews but usually very few. We have all heard of expectation bias, but we also have ... 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
Experiences with DACS will greatly vary by each individual since we all have different levels of equipment and cables! Some are much more resolving than others. We also each have different hearing and sound preferences that are important to oursel... 
Rose RS250 or Lumin U1 Mini?
The U1 mini is long gone and discontinued. The U2 mini should be shipping in the US very soon. Also, the RS250 is a combination DAC and Streamer but the Lumin is just a streamer. Not the same functions.  
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
It's not my first experience in dealing with a Chinese made DAC. I bought a Yulong Sabre DA3 a number of years ago that was shipped directly from China. Also no need to contact Holo Audio, their not so good return policy is already spelled out on ... 
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
@lucmichaud1 That is very disturbing and has somewhat soured me in buying a Chinese DAC. I was going to buy a Holo Audio May today but may need to rethink my options. Even though your problems were with Audio GD, they have no control over Chinese ...
