...I should add that the May will be shipped to me next week.
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

A couple things - if it’s being shipped to you in a matter of days then it’s already built (obviously) and with a lead time of 6 week build time to ship, your cancellation is very late in the process. They would lose a lot of money on a unit just sitting as well as time put into it. More importantly they must have a cancellation policy that you should have been aware of prior to ordering? - you will be able to sell it without problem, so I wouldn’t worry about it. You may be out a few bucks for some shipping or whatever but this isn’t a money making hobby |
Holo Audio is pretty clear about cancellations both at the time of order, and on their Terms and Conditions page: "Refunds on Holo Audio, LCR-1 MK5/MK4 Phono Stages, and any other special order items.
