@wink , I know it has come to that end. The record companies are partially to blame as they issue lots of over-processed, basement-made junk music. The poor kids nowadays have no idea as how music should be recorded and listened to. They think the louder, the better. As a result, they...

I have to agree with @roberto. The solidity, build quality of this DAC is way above its price tag of $5,800 shipping included. I do not have many hours yet but boy, a few tunes that I have listened to through it have blown me away.

Gracias Roberto for details on how you are feeding digital signals to the May. For now I will be spinning my CDs, and as I have indicated in another post, a dedicated streamer transport will be my next purchase.

Thanks Dan @wink, and congrats on your HiFi Rose too....I contemplated buying a streamer/Dac myself. Aurliac is one of the good contenders in this space. But knowing myself, I knew I would be the victim of "upgraditis" soon and I would loose money. So I am taking it slow and buying...

Yes, I noticed that and the blue large display is so cool. Most DACs have no display with only dinky, microscopic LED lights - not a fan of that.

Thanks @roberto, I know you were!!!! I am not a fan of over-sampling either but it is good to have that option. Between work, family responsibilities and just coming back from a vacation, I cannot find the time to sit on the couch and enjoy my new toy yet. I tried to connect the optical...

I am sorry @roberto, my geography is not that bad. Costa Rica is written under your profile photo. I do not know why my mind zeroed on Puerto Rico. So I finally finalized the set-up and the Best of Diana Krall CD which happened to be in the universal player was played. Oh my...what a...

Hello everyone, after waiting for four weeks, I was pleasantly surprised to get my shipment as the estimated wait time had been slated to be 6-7 weeks. I did not have a chance to hook it up as we had to embark on a road trip visiting some of the cities you folks live in such as Toledo...

Another Pass Labs owner chiming in here, although I have the XA 30.8 + XP 22 - roughly for $17K for the three units. I realize this is outside of your budget. But as mentioned above, if you can get your hand on a used INT 25, you will be in audio bliss. Pass and ML make magic. Good luck...

Gracias Roberto. You have an excellent set-up and thanks for sharing it. If any other user of Holo May Dac has used the Camera Kit connection, please chime in. I want to know your experience.

Hi @roberto, I have a question for you. Have you connected any Apple device to the May? Apparently, the latest camera kit works the best. Now before you folks grill me for connecting an iPod to a $6K DAC; let me say it will be for casual listening. My beloved Cambridge Audio CXU will be...

I am not a fan of Chris Brown, but these lyrics are good. Perhaps, I will listen to the song.

Not to get too philosophical, one has to be happy from within. Otherwise you can mortgage the world, spend it and still not be happy.

Hey Jason, I was just kidding with you. I am at a stage of my life where I want to get it right (or good enough) and forget it. And then just set back, relax and enjoy. All the power to you and the other constant tweakers here - hence whatever makes you happy. As Roberto always says...

Hey Jason, whatever turns your motor. If that keeps you from chasing skirt, so be it. It only makes your marriage stronger.

Hi Jason, thanks. I am curious why are you selling yours? Are you not happy with its performance?

Gracias Roberto. You put my mind further at ease. I am not one of those who likes to constantly upgrade. I want to target a very nice gear, save up for it, buy it and keep it for a long, long time enjoying it with pride of ownership. Thanks for providing the detailed description of the...

Finally today, I held my nose and ordered a Holo May DAC KTE. I think it will take roughly seven weeks for me to get it. Special thanks to Roberto who seems very happy with this unit. That gave me a bit of piece of mind. This is the first gear I am ordering online without actually...

BDH55, as Roberto says, "Happy Listening." Go with your gut feeling. If you like the sound of an amp, you just get it. Do not worry about the heat. I find buyer's remorse 1000 times worse than possibility of some degree of uncomfortable heat. When I was choosing the Pass XA30.8 (a true...

As an owner of Pass XA30.8, I can say that it runs hot but it is not going to burn your fingers. Jay likes to over-exaggerate things. I hope you guys do not get discouraged. For me, this is a very small trade-off considering the level of meat-on-the bone, true to life music you get from...
