May Dac = 'The possibility of.' The May DAC is here! over... View

Purchased a Holo May KTE. I had some questions before buying, all got quickly and in details answered by Jos. After delivery I noticed a humming noise coming from the item sometimes. Jos gave me advices on different possible solutions. I am very satisfied with both of the dac and Magna Hifi. This is the kind of costumer service I love in the US but rarely experience in the EU. ?

AUDIO-GD DI-20 HE VERSION with integrated Regenerative Power Supply. USB digital audio... View

Excellent DDC! Prior to purchasing, I used the Gustard U18, Singxer SU-6 and M2TECH hiFace Two. Audio-GD's DI-20HE ranks above them all! Take note that you'll need around 200 hours for the device to 'burn in' and fully settle. You will notice qualitative improvements within that period.

MagnaHifi's customer service has been courteous and knowledgeable! They install the latest firmware on units prior to shipping and include a USB Blaster dongle for future firmware 'rolling'. Delivery to my doorstep (USA) was within the week of ordering, which is impressive considering the unit shipped from the other side of the planet!

Look no further if you seek a top-of-the-line DDC. :)

After another good and objective advice from the Magna team bought the spring3-2. And after some serious burn in time with quality ups and downs …. I can’t say anything else than it is stunningly amazing. Never experienced such live feeling at home. Staging, clarity is just amazing. Really happy. Give it some weeks of burn in and you will be amazed by the musical performance this machine can put in place.

May Dac = 'The possibility of.' The May DAC is here! over... View

I am in the position to listening to more music... and therefore really coming to appreciate the qualities of the May. It presents music organically, across a broad and deep sound stage, with hardly any digital artefacts - the decision to go with an R2R Dac has been one of my best choices over many years of audiophilia!

Serene is a preamplifier from HoloAudio. Serene adopts a fully balanced structure.... View

SERENE KTE performs nicely right out of the box. It finally brought back to life my home theatre and media center with all it's analogue and digital connections all together. In the "digital" part of my chain SERENE performed precisely as expected. Connected to HoloAudio MAY KTE, it is absolutelly not in the way of sound, it is transparent and precise, like it is not there. However in the "analogue" chain SERENE has surprised me ! With it's crazy level of transparency it has shown exactly what I have - good phono stage (from Kitsune HifI) and somewhat average turntable. But ! Now I CAN hear all smallest imperfections coming from the turntable. My analogue chain became really sensitive to quality of a records. The good ones are simply - EXCELLENT ! The medium ones - honestly, you just don’t want to listen to. IMHO, this is the whole point of "vinyl story" - hunting for and collecting the ultimate quality recordings. My previous pre-amp was hiding all this and coloring the sound with mellow low registers. One could have considered that being better, may be... But SERENE is just plain honest. At last, don't underestimate break-in period. Now, over alsmost four days of constand listening "out of the box" harshness went away and SERENE settled well into the system. Highly reccomeded!

I was nervous of buying from abroad (without an audition ) and having no dealers here in the UK but Jos ,after a few emails ,at Magna hifi assured me it was an easy and safe process. He was right ,it was just like buying online in uk . Service from Magna hifi was excellent.
First impressions of HoloAudio spring dac level 3.
It's heavy,very well built and looks superb with the copper buttons and side plates.
Anybody who says that bits are bits and all dacs sound the same is wrong. There was a noticeable improvement in the sound of my streamer being played through this dac including sound stage and imaging. But it was when I used my little used (I now stream most of my music) and budget cd player as transport and the Spring 3 as a dac that the difference was massive . Doing a/b comparisons with the dac in the cd player and the Spring 3 the improvement was not subtle and sounded like a huge upgrade . The fact that I spent next 5 weeks listening to all my cds again and hearing things I've never heard before says it all . Streaming didn't get a look in.
Any cons ? The remote ,which is also well made ,has copper buttons which rattle when you move it . I don't know why this irritates me but it does for some reason. Other that minor thing the Spring 3 is perfect as was service from Jos at Magna.
5 stars, if you can afford it buy it with confidence.

I have the Spring 3 KTE a little more than one week now. I am really impressed by the sound. I used another DAC in the 2000$ range bevor and the Spring 3 is better in every way. Great product. I could not be happier. The sound is really absolute natural and organic.

This new DAC “Spring3” is the design that has been very popular... View

Device performance is over my initial estimate.
Actually, it is a new level of sound that I didn’t hear anytime before.
Excellent level of definition of instruments, easy to recognise with sound stage, especially when I am listening to classic and jazz. Vocal sounds natural and gentle.

Had a great listening evening yesterday. To be honest, the sound with the Singxer SU-6 (coming from my Vortexbox Audioserver premium xl) is breath taking. I am really surprised how it works that way and why others are (probably) do not include this technology …. in addition, I have tried several components and settings, nothing works like the singxer …. Great weekend! Michael

Thank you very much for great opportunity to get my system to the higher level of SQ. It works phenomenally much more than I´ve expected. I was very satisfied with my older DDC but this is another level of performance!

I'm very happy with the product (Holo Spring 3 KTE) but even more so with Jos @ Magna Hifi. He have helped me a lot with coming to decision. I really recommend both this DAC as well purchasing from Magna!

Sound is clear and smooth. I believe dac with ACSS connection to this amp could be awesome pair. Compared to Audio-gd Precision 2 that I had, this is better.

I'm ecstatic about the May, a very amazing piece of hardware. I would recommend an upgrade allowing the I2S ports to accept real HDMI signals and not only I2S.
