I would love to read a review where they compare the Level 2 and 3 May DAC.
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

Here's a great review of the Holo May DAC. One bit that got my attention was this: It’s worth noting that John Atkinson of Stereophile, among others, have measured the TKE May DAC finding unparalleled performance, This implies a resolution of more than 22 bits, which is the highest I have encountered. https://twitteringmachines.com/review-holo-audio-kte-may-dac/ All the best, Nonoise |
@nonoise Indeed. I just don't buy the pure measurement perspective pushed by ASR, but it appears that this dac measures quite well and is a real technical achievement: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-holo-audio-may... |
