The Titanis V2 USB is very very good. Before i used also the Singxer SU1, but the MAY sounds better via USB.

Hi, nope i'm not a reviewer, i write down my (subjective) listening experiences :) But thank you!

No, the volume buttons on the remote of the MAY do nothing. There is NO volume control possible with the MAY

The Serene sounds great. Beautifully open, dissolving, yet powerful.

Whoa :)

I actually wrote it wrong. The MAY sounds good immediately after switching on. After an hour it sounds fabulous :)

It takes at least an hour for it to sound good.

Thanks for the compliment 👍🏻 I picked up the Serene KTE just an hour ago, first notes are very promising!

I have it for 2 months now and the Serene is a really great pre-amp, i wrote my experiences down here: https://www.audioenzo.nl/holo-audio-serene-l1-en/ Today or tomorrow i will receive the KTE version of the Serene, so exciting :D

I will let it play 24/7 for a few days before serious listening, so it will take some time. True, the L2 left the building last Friday.
