Holo May KTE vs Lampizator?


How far up the Lampizator chain must I go to have an appreciable improvement over the May?

I’ve heard the May and I’ve owned Lampizator DACs for years and years. Currently an Atlantic 3 TRP. 
I agree with blisshifi ‘s statement. Good answer! 
Another cool factor with Lampi is the higher voltage signal. I like how bigger and more vivid the imaging is due to this. At least in my system compared to lower volt DAC signals. 

I have a May KTE and Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP. Both fantastic.

I'd say the Lampi is more organic and natural sounding. When you get the right NOS tubes it really shines. If you want to save money skip the volume control and balanced operation, they're not totally necessary, but I got both.

A much larger jump for me has been upgrading servers and playing locally stored files instead of streaming.

How about the May KTE Vs an Aqua La Scala? 

Anyone have any experience of these two?
