Holo Audio May DAC
I'm personally against USB, but am probably just biased from using a non-specialized computer input long ago. As long as you've got a quality USB out, it looks like the May's USB input measures very well (and supports higher input rates if that's your thing). https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/kte-may-technical-measurements.8933/ |
Just got my Holo May KTE DAC yesterday. Only 24 hours into 500 hour burn in, so I’ll need a few hundred hours more before giving a comprehensive review. I will say that I already have a good impression of a huge soundstage and incredibly solid and tight bass with this DAC. Current DAC is a PS Audio DirectStream DAC, which sets an high bar, especially fed with a Shunyata Sigma power cord and Shunyata Sigma USB cable. Both are now plugged into the Holo May. As an aside, the Shunyata Sigma USB was the single greatest upgrade for my PS Audio DirectStream. I just installed it 5 days before my Holo May KTE. It made such a huge improvement to my PS Audio DSD, I probably would held off on the Holo May KTE purchase until getting more time with the DSD with the Sigma USB. The Shunyata Sigma USB is a marvel. It is worth every penny given the impact it has had on my system. Anyway, more updates to come on the Holo May KTE after more hours. The highs are still a bit steely with so few hours on it. |
