Holo Audio May
This new DAC “May” is the design of a new generation, it’s HoloAudio’s finest technology all designed by Jeff Zhu, the engineer behind these great products. It’s a full discrete R2R type of audio decoder and does not have off the shelf-DAC chip! This is a bespoke custom-designed core DUAL MONO DAC modules that are truly a breakthrough with technology for any DAC chip today.
The May is here to achieve new heights, new dynamics and simply a full spectrum of audio to please the aural senses.
The May DAC (all three models) supports DSD1024 native and PCM 1.536MHz output! Theoretically it can do DSD2048 and PCM 3.072Mhz however is untested at this time. Also, we have worked hard to reduce the common click noise with all dacs when switching from DSD to PCM. This sound click sound has been reduced significantly with a special circuit design. The May DAC has the new and exclusive USB Enhanced module (L2 and KTE ONLY) which has our FPGA with the new Titanis 2.0 and custom firmware to improve USB Eye Pattern and reduce latency to near zero as well as reduce jitter to very very low levels. The USB module has completely new code written to optimize performance and reduce latency significantly. Low frequency performance (-40db) is also improved. The “enhanced” USB xmos module is twice as powerful/capable as the one that is used in the Spring2.

REVIEWS
Customer Reviews
Have been contemplating this Dac for over a year. Thought all the positive reviews can’t be wrong. Can they?
Saw this was in stock so took the plunge. It’s probably the best I’ve EVER heard digital representation of music. I’ve had CD/SACD players north of the £15k and this is well on par with them.
Spoke to Elise , very helpful and after payment the package and contents turned up next day.
Exceptional service . Many thanks
I have purchased 3 things from Elise Audio and been extremely happy with how they have dealt with each one.
They are knowledgeable, provide great support and their passion for HiFi is real.
Highly recommended
