About the May KTE

The Holo Audio May KTE DAC is the top-tier Kitsune Tuned Edition of the May series, representing the pinnacle of Holo Audio's R2R (resistor ladder) DAC technology. It employs a new generation of linear compensation technology achieving 0.00005% tolerance accuracy and proprietary anti-jitter technology with PLL+FIFO and femtosecond VCXO clocks to minimize jitter and noise. The dual mono DAC modules are independently powered by custom 100VA dual O-type flatwire 6N copper transformers, with all copper wiring replaced by 1.5mm pure OCC silver wire soldered directly to PCBs. The KTE model features hand-selected DAC modules for superior dynamic range, CNC black/copper shielded DAC module covers with laser-etched KTE logos, upgraded IEC inlet connectors plated with silver/rhodium, and world-class Red Nano fuses with gold/silver/graphene/quartz filtering. It supports USB and I2S inputs up to DSD1024 and PCM 1.536MHz sample rates, with a proprietary enhanced USB module (Titanis 2.0) for ultra-low latency and high reliability. The DAC offers balanced XLR and single-ended RCA analog outputs, housed in a two-chassis design with a black anodized aluminum and polished copper finish. It is a non-oversampling DAC with optional oversampling filters, known for its natural analog sound signature with warmth, depth, and a rich bass presence. The May KTE is
