HoloAudio May Dac, New King of dacs? Stereophiles review on it?

No doubt. Holo Audio does great R2R DACs for the money. Hands down. Especially this one, the Kitsune modified. A US based company (the Kitsune that is)

@georgehifi 

wish it had a volume control though 

How about the Metrum Adagio or the new Sonnet Morpheus. Both of those R2R DACs have volume control, which is adjusted by changing the reference voltage so outside of the signal path and without losses. Have you heard either of them?

just got the morpheus... interesting to compare it to the metrum jade which i love

cees went, started sonnet, now back at metrum with the investor spat sorted out... interesting to see how the two companies will run and interact, as both evidently are commercializing his innovations

as for the holo springs ... well it may well be the king of dacs -- THIS WEEK -- lol...

seriously though... there are just so many really good dacs these days, and the trickle-down effect has ridiculously good sound now available at $1000-1500 - I feel it is hard to justify going to 5 grand and up... much less 10k

How about the Metrum Adagio or the new Sonnet Morpheus. Both of those R2R DACs have volume control

I was just stating more that the measured specs were "so good for R2R" on the Holo May Dac as John Alexander found and raved about, that really all it needed to top it would have been a volume control, to make it the complete R2R dac package. I already have the MSB discrete R2R with volume.
