REVIEW HOLOAUDIO SPRING 3 LEVEL 2 DAC: TRANSPARANT BOVEN ALLES JAMIE BIESEMANS | 11 MAART 2022 CONCLUSION The HoloAudio Spring 3 Level 2 is not the flagship of the Chinese brand, but it behaves like one. Even within the Spring line you can aim higher, and then there’s the May. So it might be even […]
Hi-Fi News Verdict By adding onboard streaming to its DAC platform, Matrix Audio has upped the ante to create a truly compelling model offering network audio with minimal fuss. Ignore the wonkily-labelled digital filters and stick to driving it with either the custom MA Remote app or Roon. The reward is a sound that digs […]

The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel I frequently advised against connecting your DAC directly to your computer. In stead use a network bridge, streamer or a device like the Singxer SU6. This video explains why.
A British Audiophile The Denafrips Ares 2 dac is as good as I’ve heard since the start of this channel, so what the heck could supplant that and take the top spot? We came up with the Holo Audio Spring 3 Level 2 which is for sale for 2649 euros directly from European distributor Magna […]
Another review of the HOLO AUDIO MAY KTE Read the full review THE VERDICT The Holo Audio KTE May DAC is an impressive sounding digital converter that beguiles the listener the longer that it is listened to.

Review Review Matrix Audio X-Sabre 3 (hifi.nl) Conclusion The only downside that we can think of with this X-Sabre 3 is that the small screen is a curious choice. However, if you are fully streaming via Roon or other apps, you will probably still use a mobile device to select music and view album art. […]
HOLO MAY KTE R2R DAC COMPARED WITH DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR PLUS There can only be one winner Denafrips, sorry :-)
A British Audiophile There are two brands of R2R ladder DACs that seem to be all the rage at the moment. One is Denafrips and the other, Holo Audio. I check out the, recently launched, Holo Audio Spring 3 DAC. Does it live up to the hype of being one of the finest sounding DACs […]
GOLDEN SOUND REVIEW – PUNCHING UP! The Holo Spring 3 KTE is a truly fantastic DAC punching above its pricepoint, and with some unique features that make it an extremely compelling choice. I can comfortably say I’ve not heard a DAC this good anywhere close to this pricepoint.
Conclusion The Holo Spring 3, Level 2 DAC offers excellent value. Its combination of high build quality, ladder DAC and NOS operation make it both highly engaging and very revealing, the sound quality being well ahead of the field at its price point. If you have a power amplifier with balanced inputs it becomes even […]

The AUDIO-GD AS-1 is a straightforward DAC that offers excellent measured performance and sound quality for a reasonable price tag. Audio-gd AS-1 DAC Review
Over three years of R&D went into producing the Holo Audio May DAC, which comes in three performance/price levels. The KTE (Kitsune Tuned Edition) version is the flagship. he Holo Audio KTE May DAC ($4998) includes hand selected modules, KTE exclusive Caps, HoloAudio Caps, DAC Module exclusive cover/shields, Silver wiring, Red Nano Fuse and many […]
In sum and substance, the Holo Audio KTE May is exceedingly well-built, well-engineered and solid, offers multiple digital modes to slightly ‘shape’ the sound to your taste (I preferred the seemingly more tonally ‘natural’ NOS mode), has a brilliantly capable USB input which obviates the need for re-clockers and sundry digital boxes, and sounds positively […]
In sum As the digital anchor in my ever-changing audio systems, the HoloAudio May DAC (Level 3 KTE) exhibited a force and gravity that exceeded even the mighty Mytek Manhattan II. It demonstrated a natural quietness that exceeded my former reference for natural quiet, the HoloAudio Spring. It exhibited a unique type of understated liveliness that exceeded the Yggdrasil and Chord Qutest. […]
