Holo Audio May DAC

I deleted the album from my Aurender playlist and reloaded it (it is a FLAC file).  It plays fine now as NOS.  Dunno, but not an issue I guess.

Just received my new May and I have to echo what others have said, this sounds fantastic right out of the box! Can't wait to get it burned in a bit.

So I have acquired a slightly used Holo May ( 200 - 300 hrs in mint condition) and have been listening to it for the past few days, comparing it to my Lampizator Amber 3. I am on the fence so far to be honest. Earlier in this thread, more than one person suggested that the May would be a sideways move from Lampizator DAC’s and I am beginning to agree with this. While it’s incredible detailed, accurate, with a black background and neutral to a fault, it doesn’t have the full, 3-dimensionality, or organic sound of the Amber 3. No doubt it’s technically superior in every way - but it’s just not as *pleasant* to listen to, is more forward sounding, and very unforgiving of poor recordings - etched and bright at times. I will let it run for a couple of hundred more hours before re-evaluating.

I just received my Holo Audio May KTE a week ago.
Wow !
My PS Audio Directstream dac is for sale.

Nquery...thank you for your post, I thought Holo May just puts everyone in trance or something, so it's refreshing to hear something a bit different. Could be it's not fully broken in or you may just prefer the tubes in your system. Keep us posted.
