This is the fourth generation of the mini-i series from Matrix Audio.... View
The package arrived today in perfect conditions. After unpacking the mini, I had it rest for several hours as it was cold as ice ...
That gave me time to uninstall my pro-ject streamer & dac in my office.
The installation was easy and setup in Roon too.

Now that the devices have worked very well, I wanted to briefly report how they sound.
I can make it short, it's a dream. This combination + the Hifiman Arya are really hard to beat. Once I start listening to music, I almost can't stop.
It's just a lot of fun and a real joy.
You dive in and forget everything around you.
Thank you so much for the great service and great tips.

nachdem sich nun die Geräte sehr gut eingespielt haben, wollte ich kurz berichten wie sie klingen.
Ich kann es kurz machen, es ist ein Traum. Diese Kombi + der Hifiman Arya sind echt kaum zu schlagen. Einmal angefangen damit Musik zu hören, kann ich fast nicht mehr aufhören.
Es macht einfach nur richtig viel Spaß und es ist eine echte Freude.
Man taucht ab und vergisst um sich herum alles.
Vielen, vielen Dank für den tollen Service und die tollen Tipps.

Was ist das für ein Klang!
Ich habe so etwas noch nie gehört! Ich hätte niemals gedacht, dass es solch einen großen sUnterschied zu meinem Oppo-Player ausmachen könnte und auch nicht zu meiner gepimpten Squeezebox Touch. Die beiden Geräte sind schon gut. Aber das sind noch einmal Welten auf meiner Avantgarde Acoustic Zero 1 XD. Scheint perfekt zu harmonieren.
Vielen, vielen Dank das ihr euch so viel Mühe gegeben habt das Streaming zu perfektionieren und uns daran teilhaben lässt. Krasse Dynamik, krasser klarer Sound! Wow!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I've had this amp / dac for a month or so and I have to say I like it a lot so far.
It is really nicely made - everything fits together and is also quite heavy - Also sounds nice with my Focal Clear via XLR connection.
What's also important is that every CD sounds different - that's how I experience it. So it doesn't add anything or much to the sound.
4 stars because I can't compare the device with anything else.

Ik heb deze amp/dac al een maand of zo en ik moet zeggen dat het bevalt mij tot nu toe.
Hij is echt mooi gemaakt – alles past bij elkaar en is ook vrij zwaar – Klinkt ook mooi met mijn Focal Clear via XLR aansluiting.
Wat ook belangrijk is, is dat elke CD anders klinkt – dat is hoe ik het ervaar. Dus hij voeg niks of niet veel toe aan het geluid.
4 sterren omdat ik het apparaat niet met iets anders kan vergelijken.

Du hast wirklich nicht zuviel versprochen. Der Matrix ist ein ausgezeichnetes Gerät, funktioniert fehlerfrei und ohne Verzögerungen mit der Mconnect APP und ist (gerade im Hoch- und Mitteltonbereich) unglaublich präzise und klar. Da fällt dann mein selbstgebauter Hifi-Berry doch ab. Auch die anderen Geräte konnten da klanglich nicht mithalten. Zwischen Wlan und direkt angeschlossener Festplatte konnte ich keinen klanglichen Unterschied ausmachen.

I compared the XLR-XLR coupling with a very good cable and the ACSS coupling with the received cable. ACSS wins outright!
After a few days everything started to settle and I can confirm this Audio-GD DAC is formidable. First of all I would say that the sound is analog and has none of the shortcomings of digital sound.
It is especially analog and musical! But the big win is that it doesn't look like digital! Not at all!
It's really very different! Especially in the sense of time / speed and musicality / realism. Audio-GD is clearly superior in these respects!..... And in the end it is simply superior!
It far exceeded my expectations!

The May arrived safely and is gorgeous. The case feels very solid, without any sharp edges and of very high quality. The sound is so clear, spacious and smooth. As such, I am very happy 🙂
It is interesting, that the locking takes some time - I read about this. While other DACs seem to be able to switch immediately, I do not mind this at all.

De purecable acss interlink. Getest en direct gekocht. Een onverwacht grote stap!
- Meer gescheiden instrumenten die helderder zijn
- Door betere instrumenten ontstaat ook betere stage.
- Meer lucht in weergave. Als een frisse regenbui
- Bas is strakker
Echt een aanzienlijke verbetering, vooral in helderheid wat instrumenten ruimte en lucht geeft zowel op plaats in stage alsook in hun eigen beleving. Of het nou komt door de combo met de MSTR luidsprekerkabels, of dat er magie in de kabel is gestoken? Mn oren waren unaniem: heel goed!

Holo Audio - MAY DAC KTE - Kitsune Edition (R2R - DSD1024)
January 15, 2021
May Dac = 'The possibility of.' The May DAC is here! over... View
Never I have been blown away by a DAC like the May KTE. It is almost magical in its musical delivery and so freaking perfect in all aspects of sound quality: detail, soundstage, imaging, PRaT, body, soul, dynamics, resolution, excitement, neutrality, calmness and musicality in all frequencies are simply unmatched. As a result, the KTE will emotionally connect you without any effort to the music; get a box of Kleenex, you May (pun intended) tear up when you hear your favourite music.
One thing, the burn in process was for me a bit scary. After a few good first days the May sounded like crap for almost five days. Patience is key, it took 11 days 24/7 and a few pauses before it started sounding magical again.
It is not cheap, but this is truly end-game and a class apart. The May will easily compete with TOTL end game DACS that are much more expensive. Most said in the professional reviews is true, and believe me, understated. As an audio reviewer you want to remain a good relationship with all sponsors.
For me the May takes the cake, the USB implementation is so good, no need to invest in reclockers or IS2. Considering this, the May is almost a steel. 6 out of 5 stars ?

Purchased one of the best end game DACs (Holo audio may KTE). Had some scares during the burn in process, but Magna was super understanding. All I needed was patience, my May KTE just took 11 days before it sounded magical. 🙂 Magna's service is simply outstanding, these guys deserve your trust and business, especially when you invest in your audiophile hobby.

I received Element X today, so I can share only first impressions and the unit is just amazing 🙂
I don't get impressed so much on new audio equipment, but the sound from Element X is just much better comparing to my RME ADI-2 DAC or other DACs that I compare with.
Big advantage is the Roon Ready streaming capability, so I don't have to wake up my PC to play any music or connect my DAP via coax.
If you like superb audio quality and you have budget to buy this unit, I highly recommend, you will not regret it 😉
Jos from Magna Hifi helped me to pick correct device and I don't regret high price that you have to pay for this amazing device.
