Selling one of the best headphone amps from my office setup. Haven't been listening too much while working so better give it a good new home. In pristine condition, located in Tampere, Finland. Price is negotiable, but no lowball offers please. New price 4000eur.
This is a clear buyer’s opportunity right now, as the kr25,000 asking price is a genuine bargain compared to the typical used market in SEK. Based on our listings database, the median for recent SEK listings is kr28,746, with the 25th percentile at kr27,384; this unit sits well below that threshold, making it a strong deal. External listings show similar units ranging from roughly kr24,000 to kr33,000, but the database anchor confirms this price is exceptionally competitive.
The Holo Audio BLISS KTE is a heavyweight, fully discrete, Class-A dual-mono headphone amp and preamp that delivers 12W per channel into 32Ω with near-zero output impedance in LOW-Z mode. Its eight discrete amplifier modules, custom O-core transformer, and active preamp stage make it a rare, high-performance hybrid prized for power, clarity, and tonal richness. At this price, even with unknown condition, it’s a compelling buy for anyone seeking a top-tier Class-A experience without the new-unit cost.

Holo Audio is a Chinese high-end audio manufacturer founded by designer Jeff Zhu, who has established the brand as a serious contender in premium digital audio over the past several years. Operating in close partnership with Kitsune HiFi for US distribution, the company has built its reputation through meticulous engineering and an uncompromising approach to product development. Zhu's vision emphasizes innovation and sonic performance without regard for cost constraints, positioning Holo Audio as a thoughtfully managed operation rather than a mass-market manufacturer.
The brand's product portfolio centers on digital audio components, with particular expertise in R-2R Ladder DACs. Their lineup includes the well-regarded Spring series, the flagship MAY DAC (representing over three years of development), and complementary products such as headphone amplifier/DAC combos like the Cyan and Azure, a preamplifier called the Serene, and standalone headphone amplifiers. This focused approach demonstrates a deliberate strategy of vertical integration within the digital audio space rather than diversification across multiple categories.
Holo Audio occupies the high-end boutique segment, commanding prices that reflect both engineering sophistication and hand-selected components—the MAY DAC's Kitsune Tuned Edition, for instance, features pure silver wiring and custom capacitors. The brand has earned respect among discerning audiophiles for delivering measurably capable equipment backed by genuine R&D investment. While relatively niche compared to mainstream manufacturers, Holo Audio represents the growing wave of Chinese brands that have earned credibility through technical merit and serious product development rather than brand heritage alone.
