I was planning on doing some auditioning of different options but two things changed that. First, at least for me, once you’ve listened to a good R2R Ladder DAC it is very addicting. Even more relevant though, is that I discovered that Kitsune HiFi, the US arm or Holo Audio has an upgrade program and I was able to trade in my Spring dac for what I paid for it less 15% so right off the bat I saved about $2K. That would let me buy the May for about 3.5K. And a nice little feature of the trade-in program is that you keep the Spring until you receive the May so I’m not left without a dac for 5 or 6 weeks (although I have Bryston BDA-2 as a back-up that clearly doesn’t suck). I’ll update when the May arrives.

I'm guessing you will be VERY happy in about 4 months (2 to get the May and 2 to burn it in).
