    Hola Chicos, I got my Holo May Kte in the middle of Sept. It did made a huge change for good to my system. I had an Exasound DAC previously and this new sound for my ears belongs to another higher level. A big step ahead and still improving. Last night I was listening to the Mozart No 10...

    Holo Audio May KTE Dac

    The Holo May is now very popular, especially for audiophile people. Don't worry. I do believe that even in Thailand. Why don't you announce it here, or place and add the classifieds section of this big forum. Maybe you will sell it real fast. This is the most significant change for good in my...

    SACD Transport to Holo Audio May KTE DAC?

    Hola, I have two CD transport players. Both are Bel Canto. The CD2 is the best. It has an Up Sampling to 96KHz built inn. You can turn off this feature if you want. Using it with the Holo May Kte, the sound of the CD at 44.1KHz/16bit is stunning. I never thought that I was going to have the...

    Holo Audio May KTE Digital Input Selection?

    Yes, my friend also has the Terminator, and definitively the I2S is better than the USB. The resolution and the transparency is evident. Also, it offers a much better and wider stage. On the May, the USB is very good, and my ears tell me to stay with it. There isn't (my liking and my ears)...

    Holo Audio May KTE Dac

    Hola Vangelis, ...Do they need to be separated for best sound?...No, they do not. The two hand made transformers use a flat line cable. They look about the same with round shape cable, the flat line is much better because this way, the EMI (electro mechanical induction) is reduced. All...

    How will the next generation CLX speaker be better?

    Hola Asindc, You are right. The blend of the Martin Logan BF-210 subwoofer with the CLXs is like they are one. Very difficult to tell. Why? Our ears have no orientation from 80 Hz to below. As an example, when there is 60 Hz noise coming from the fridge motor, or similar, this unwanted...
