In Reply to: Chip vs. discrete resistor R2R posted by morricab on June 17, 2024 at 04:45:39:
About 3 years ago, at a quite low period in my life (I had just lost my mother), I decided to invest in a new DAC. I read and watched lots of reviews and finally decided on the Holo Audio May KTE. This was going to be the single greatest expenditure in my audio system, for a single component, in my 45 years in the hobby. I was definitely nervous (am I crazy?).
At the time I was using a Monarchy M24 which used the Burr-Brown PCM 63 chip. I really liked this DAC and had never heard anything better in my system. (I'm sure psychologists would have some fun explaining why I decided to give up the M24 but I try to avoid dwelling on this subject).
Anyway, the May is definitely superior to the M24 in all respects and particularly when combined with HQPlayer. Nevertheless, I often wish I had held on to the M24 and spent that $5,000 on more useful projects (like buying more music).
