| Holo Audio May DAC Interesting development in my screeching noise issue. I reset the Midi Audio set up to 44.1khz and unplugged the USB cable at the mac end for a minute. I plugged it back in and I haven't heard the screeching noise since. I just using iTunes for t... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I mean that when in the iMac's Midi Audio setup panel, the Holo May is seen by the mac, and the format can be changed (44.1 khz, etc.) But the integer is not selectable and set at 2-channel 32-bit integer. It appears the 32-bit integer is being se... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Thanks to you both for your replies. @redlenses03 , your link to head-fi was helpful. It appears Macs and May dacs have had incompatibility issues. I wish i knew that before purchase. Kitsune or should i say Magna hifi appear to be rolling out f... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I'm hoping some of the MAY DAC owners here can help troubleshoot an issue I'm having with my recently acquired May (L2). The unit has about 200 hours on it as I've been burning it in using my iMac via USB. About once every 15-20 minutes I get thi... | |
| KEF 107 without Kube The Kube 107.2 is not the best option for a 1st gen 107 speaker. It may work, but the crossover is different.However, the claims (I've read them too) that the Kube is serial matched for each pair of speakers is a bit of hogwash, I could not tell a... | |
| KEF 107 without Kube I owned a restored pair of KEF 107s for a couple of years. You’re going to want the Kube. The set was designed as a system and people selling 107s without it use the excuse that they sound better without...they don’t. The Kube offers a lot of room... | |
| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase @jeroboam:I have the Yamaha CD-S2100 mentioned earlier. It is built well beyond their mass market offering. The transport is the same one used in their TOTL CD-S3100. The transport is exceptionally well designed and built, and does play SACD, but ... | |
| Buying the right tool (aka gear) the first time... If you have the means to pay full retail, then visit as many dealers as you can, to find one that is reputable and that you trust. Then make decisions based on what you hear from there.There’s only one acceptable system here on Audiogon...somethin... | |

| Holo Audio May DAC Holo Audio is pretty clear about cancellations both at the time of order, and on their Terms and Conditions page: "Refunds on Holo Audio, LCR-1 MK5/MK4 Phono Stages, and any other special order items. Only accepted within 48 hours after purchase,... | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp There's more than one path to sonic bliss, and it doesn't need to cost a fortune. Just going off of retail prices, the mc152 is $5,000. Granted, i don't know what all of your needs are in an amp, but you could roll that 5k into a pair of Heresy's ... | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp My thoughts as a McIntosh owner and long time fan. Make one change at a time, and if you're considering Klipsch Heresy IVs, start there.Try the Klipsch out with your current Rotel amp (that extra 50 watts is unlikely to matter with the efficiency ... | |
