I'll be following this thread as I'm interested in the holo audio may KTE as of now, originally it was the LTA Aero. I purchased a pagoda balanced from LTA and they do have excellent service I agree.
My Pagoda's usb socket shorted out and I had a local guy repair it, he says it's a design problem, idk. I just know it works again. LTA no longer sells mhtd labs DAC's but still responded with diagrams of the pcb and known chip to check for damage. Very helpful
