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

Hello to all the fans of this Holo dac. I've been reading about May dac for a few days, and I admit that it intrigued me, so much so that I was considering adding it to my Bricasti M1SE, alongside it as an alternative R2R to my D/S dac. May be a good idea to have a different sound option? Or it could be money wasted as I already have an M1SE in my system? I must say that the sound of the Bricasti is excellent, so I wouldn't do this shopping out of dissatisfaction, but out of curiosity to try the sound of an R2R dac like May, which enjoys high regard in various audio forums.

Thanks, and sorry for my faltering English.

I can get a t+a d200 for the same price as the may

but can’t listen to either before purchasing I see that a may lover changed to the 

t+a d200 And says it’s much better any thoughts on this?

I have owned both. It is definitely much better. No comparison.
