Holo Audio May DAC


Just read a very nice review of this in Stereophile this month and after doing some research it looks like this one could be a very nice option for me.

It's made in China I think (or could be Taiwan?, and yes, I am very well aware that these are two very different countries. ;)), and employs a direct to consumer model to keep the price as low as possible.  This does not worry me after purchasing a Jay's Audio transport from Vinshine Audio and having zero issues.  

Just curious if anyone here has heard one or purchased?  I'm very intrigued.  I know the Denafrips Terminator is another highly regarded DAC with a similar ordering model, but costs a couple grand more than this one.  Considering that one as well.

Thanks

There's something very right about Holo DACs. I only heard one, years ago, at an audio show when I sat down to listen to some headphones. Holo was still new and when I put on the headphones, it was the first time I thought I could listen to this sound all day long and not want or need for anything. 

All the best,

I couldn't find a web link to the article.  It will probably be up in a week or two.  I read this in the print edition.

@jjss49 Yeah, probably!  LOL

In seriousness, I don't know if these awards mean anything other than when a component I love gets the recognition it deserves it's exciting to hear.

It's always nice to get recognition of your good taste from the pros.  Enjoy!
