Not sure if it matters but I tracked my May from China via DHL - it took less than 3 days (to NY) to get it - door to door. I just shipped my DS to the Music Room in Colorado via Fed Ex Ground - sent it on Tuesday. Scheduled to arrive Monday. 50 -...

Hey Phil - This thing is sick. Would love to post on the PSA forum - don't think it would go over well. PSA is great outfit but not thinking that they'll be able to produce anything that would be able to compete with the May anytime soon. No knock...

Oczed - Recently purchased the May to replace DSD. Unlike some others my initial impressions were not favorable. 1st day was a mess. Usually is though. Over the next couple of days things started to improve dramatically, after a week I was able to...

Hey Phillppe - Thanks for getting back - nice setup... I really want to simplify if at all possible. Since the USB implementation on the May is so good want to sell my Matrix and Uptone PS w/WW Platinum Silver Starlight HDMI and put the funds into...

Can you outline how you're using the Matrix with the May? Do you disable PLL? What's you're USB source? USB source with Chord USB to I2S - what cable? thx

philippe0: Did you like  usb to matrix spdif to dac on the May? With the DS this was the way to go for me. With the May it's not the same level as the USB input (with curious usb - started working for some reason) Would love to try the Chord ca... 
Holo Audio May DAC
Thanks for the recommendation. Are you using the chord USB directly from your source or do you have a jitter device between it and the May. Have you tried other inputs yet? Was using a Matrix I2S box with the DS and it was much better with that th...

Looks like I do have a bit of an issue. This DAC does not play nice with my Curious USB cable. Both my Aurender streamer ( USB DAC ERR Detected message from time to time) and the May seem it have trouble locking. The USB cable that came with the...

The PSA DSD was not great out of the box either. Actually if my memory is correct - it was pretty crappy also. Seeing as most people are saying this thing needs 100’s of hours of break in I’m thinking it will get a lot better. My experience with t...

Just got the May DAC. 15 days after order - must be a record! Make the mistake of listening right out of the box (after an hour or so). Sound is just ok. Not in the same league as PSA DSD. Bass is bloated. Image is diffuse. Has trouble locking ont...

great - thanks for the info 
Holo Audio May DAC
Thanks all. Looking forward to receiving the unit. Any idea what the used market is looking like for the DSD. You think 3k is possible at this point? Mine is 3yrs old perfect condition. If I could get the May with 2- 2500 out of pocket that would ...
