Holo audio may dac or something else

[grandsoir]

Greetings

I´ve been reading up on the holo audio may dac which is being praised a lot. What I like about it´s review is that it seems to carry a more "analog" sound than the otherwise digital harsh sound signature.

It´s been on the market for a long time now, so I´m a bit curious if there are options or if its a good choice. I wont be able to hear it before ordering.

The lampizator seems very nice, but then it´s MUCH more expensive.

I´m thinking about pairing it with the Taiko-server.

I had a May in my system for a few months, and I recommend it highly.

It was detailed and organic, and did soundstage very well. Images were dense and always felt as though they were in the right place.

In its price range, I couldn't and can't think of another DAC that would be better, if you're looking for organic, natural sound.

Isn‘t the Baltic 4 in about the same price range?

I think it's a bit more (relatively speaking). But I'm not sure exactly how much more.

It may be a bit more, but if the OP is working with a budget encompassing a Taiko server, it‘s likely within reason.

True

Would it be better to spend less on a server and more on a DAC?
