What did you not like in the Holo May if I may ask (pun unintended)? I never heard any Holo gear, so I am just interested in a counter opinion as they seem to be quite hyped. I am one of those weirdos, who couldn't care less about measurements, just follow their ears.
As a pure DAC the May3 would be out of my current budget anyway.
On a different note, I am back to team TT2 (。)(。).
I simply couldn't resist an excellent second-hand deal. I only use it as a headphone DAC/amp. To me it just sounds better than any £3000 DAC/amp combination on the new or even second-hand market and I tried quite a few. (List of the very latest: RME-ADI2, Qutest, Soekris 2541, Soloist 3XP, Bryston BHA-1.)
