Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3


Anyone had a chance to compare the sonic qualities of these two dacs?

@milpai +1 well said. Its almost like they buy a component and then anything they read that doessn’t proclaim their choice as revolutionary, they slam the review. Keep it up @abramsmatch because your impressions, which happen to be exactly what the OP was asking for, matter more than the occasional sniper.

@abramsmatch has indicated that these two dacs are both exceptional, sound very close with the May sounding a touch warmer. To some “warmer” is a desired trait, to others it may not be. Horses for courses. Are you showing the photos of the inside because you believe more stuff inside means something or less stuff inside means something? Of course a resistor ladder takes up alot of space as does the power supply topology. These two terrific dacs accomplish the goal of reproducing great music in different ways. I’m also certain both companies pay talented people fair wages and that service after the sale is both accessable, professional and easy to obtain.

 

Full disclosure: I own two MA3’s and one Totaldac. Love both for different reasons…

"Calling China a communist country is laughable. They are "communists" when it suits them but in reality they are one of the most capitalist countries in the world, raw unbridled capitalism.

Unfortunately the economic systems they choose are overshadowed by totalitarianism which is why I prefer to send my money elsewhere when I have a choice."

Spot on!!!
