Most DAC's and/or systems can't pick up the detail of each ball Yosi uses to drop on a certain surface, may it be a drum, table, or the floor. One of the tracks I always use to demonstrate the detail retrieval is the song "Bubbles" in the same album which is amazing to listen to for details in your system. The only other DAC I have had in this room and in this system that sounded this good in detail retrieval was the Bartok at $13k more than the May KTE. In Yosi's whole album "Wandering" and compared to the other DAC's I have here, it is by far a much better DAC and they can't touch the May in that area of detail retrieval. Very weird and not sure how or what to change to get it back.īut all in all I can say, the May is great and the detail it brings out in tracks is just amazing for the price. Did not get that with the NAIM or the Moon 280D. Also in Yosi Horikawa's "In the Distance" when Yosi starts to record the running back and forth, the May again just jumps over that 2-4 feet of sound stage right in the center. Like it jumps instead of being a fluid cross along the front stage. But for some reason the May KTE drops about 2 or 4 feet right in the center. Now you should be able to visualize that in the soundstage going across the stage. At around the 2:20 mark in "Stranglehold" there is a sound that goes left to right and right to left and continues throughout the song in intervals. Next thing I noticed is when panning back and forth in some songs like say "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent or "In the Distance" by Yosi Horikawa something is off. Maybe it needs break-in or maybe I have a setting to change so testing and researching on that front. In fact I have a video on YouTube where "Fever" is visually rattling the camera while filming. #Usa exasound 28 with pure music windows#In songs like "Fever" by Malia/Boris Blank, "Slide Away" by Miley Cyrus and "A Milli" by Lil Wayne those songs on any other DAC I've had in this house have rattled my windows with the low end bass. And nothing changed in the room except for the DAC. That is a Job Well Done by the May KTE!īut you can also tell there is a major loss in the low end bass. And when Razz is giving his account of seeing and trying to help Bill Hubbard the whole time that interview is going on it is right to the left of me say at 10 o'clock. #Usa exasound 28 with pure music tv#Then the whole TV and talking over my left shoulder was amazing! Haven't heard it that good in some time. In the Song "The Ballad of Bill Hubbard" by Roger Waters the Holo does exactly what it's supposed to do and makes sure that the dog is way off in the distance to your right and I mean it sounded like surround sound. That whole portion of the song from 1:55 till about 2:45 is very detailed and has tons of hidden layers that most DAC's don't pick up. This does not get picked up on my Moon 280D or my NAIM Uniti Atom DAC. In Billie Eilish's "I Love You" right after the plane takes off in the song there is some sort of music or instrument playing in the bottom left hand corner of that soundstage. Definitely heard some items in songs I haven't heard since the Bartok left my room. Separation of vocals and instruments is wonderful. And right off the bat I can say a few good things about the May, and a few bad things about the May. All different genres of music but mostly my test songs I have in a playlist. We will see how good it really is compared to the 6SE.Īs for the HoloAudio I listened from 6 o'clock last night till about 10:30 before the wife shut me down. Although the Marantz is about to be replaced with the Trinnov Altitude16 which from what everyone is saying will be a huge step up in processing. #Usa exasound 28 with pure music movie#But during a movie my center is doing most of the work anyways, so it still sounds good to me for movies but blows me away for music listening all in one room. And I'm thankful the 6SE has the ability to do Home Theater bypass. And yah you are right I've tested listening to Tidal on the Marantz and on the 6SE and the Audio Research does sound a lot better but for movie watching it doesn't matter to me so much. Yah its funny I actually went from Home Theater to 2 Channel + HT. ![]()
