Reply to comment by kazuviking in What does a high end DAC really offer? by hurtyewh

> uses proprietary cable for power.

the may is sold with a power supply unit, that takes a normal IEC cable

>uses the same 1 cent part from china

then you haven't seen the May's BOM (not that i agree with the price, but its definitely not from china); Rubycon ZLH caps, Panasonic FC, Vishay Caps

The last part was about most "high end" manufacturer not holo audio in specific.
The may uses a custom locking 21 pin aviation cable to connect the dac with the psu. What i like about holo is that its straight porn with their pcb design and layout. If i'm correct, holo audio was the first one with the best usb implementation.

Not just galvanic isolation but some re-clocking and other magic as well if i remember it correctly.
