DAC’s

@lalitk Hey, I am building it slow and methodical. I have Pass Labs XP-12 and the X250.8. I just picked up a pair of Dynaudio Contour 60i a few weeks ago. I have Cardas Cyngus cables on the way now and I got an Audioquest Niagara 1200 with a 2m Monsoon cable. I have not put pics up since everything is still in the box/crates. I am not set on the Meitner either. I am open minded, I have read a lot about dacs and want to make a smart informative decision. It’s hard to say no to a Denafrips or a Holo May KTE for the money, not gonna lie.

I am a firm believer that most of what I buy can be improved with modifications. Everything is manufactured to its price point. I have a second Dac which has just had modifications completed.

From the original owner, who is testing it for me:

"It still has the lovely clean top but non fatiguing. Detail has improved and its sense of timing. Bass, body and punch has improved too."

The guy who modded it said after two days:

"... it’s really starting to open up now, really nice tonal quality and a fluid ease to the sound..."

If considering the Holo May, contact bigkidz if US based, and at least enquire about their mods.

My mods are performed by Coherent Systems in the UK.

Interesting that you have to get personal and use language close to profanity.

I guess you cannot argue in an adult way. Maybe I touched a nerve and deep down you agree but cannot accept that your hearing is not as perfect as you would like it to be.

The fact that most people may not agree with me does not refrain me from writing what I believe. Maybe you like going with the flow and are afraid to write unpopular opinions but I am not.

Cheers.
