Just came across this review/comparison of these two DACs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSPBX3W1heE
Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)?
I know each of these has been discussed separately on this forum, and I've seen comparisons between the original Terminator and the Holo Audio May. But I haven't seen direct comparisons between the Terminator Plus (which is supposedly a substantial upgrade to the original) and the May. So I thought I would pose the question.
I'll be upgrading from my Chord Qutest soon (I like the Qutest a lot, but I know there's better out there), and my budget will be around 5 - 9k. I'm interested in R2R DACs because of their supposed natural/analog sound. And I've heard/read that these two R2R DACs punch above their price points.

Because sonically all these discrete R2R ladder dacs are very close to each other and all have well over >2v output (most amps only need <1v for full ouput) and low impedance outputs, as strong as any preamp. I would then start looking at the one that has an inbuilt volume control to go direct with, as best best preamp is no preamp, and you’ll save a stack of money also. My MSB discrete R2R ladder dac sounds stunning going direct using it’s own volume control, and betters any preamps that have been used even $$$$$K ones friends have tried to challenge it with.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but here’s a direct comparison of the two. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DSPBX3W1heE |
