Dark Horse DAC

@jl1ny I’m a Schill for Orchard Audio & Galion and don’t take myself seriously. Just look at all the crap that’s on my YouTube Channel.

@audioman58: What you call the "Holosprings KTE" is actually the Holo Audio "MAY" KTE dac ("KTE" stands for "Kitsune Tuned Edition," Holo Audio’s premium version of their "MAY" R-to-R resistor-ladder dac, which is available in three versions: base-level, mid-tier and KTE).

I own the very-well-built Holo Audio ’MAY’ KTE dac, which I find to be very musical-sounding - it steers clear of the bright edginess of far too many Sigma-Delta chip-based DACs - it is a serious contender standing right alongside the Denafrips Terminator Plus.

Today's $2000 wonder will be next year's $1200 white elephant.

I honestly don’t understand this negativity.  Here the OP is trying to share his 2k DAC find as maybe a great deal at that price point, but some comments seem to only discourage such sharing:

- it’s doesn’t compare to more expensive Lampi DACs

- tubes vs SS

- I don’t trust the one evaluating it -aka not open to listen to any logical conclusions

 
@brauser
Thanks for sharing.  Looks like a winner.  Congrats.

OP head on over to WBF they will congratulate you and embrace your post.
