Extremely harmonious and firm in all ranges; perfect distinction between the various types of sounds and musical genres; I love the switching mode...easy (with streamer by USB and CD Player by Coaxial). Top delivery from Audiophonics.

Holo Audio presents the big brother of its CYAN DAC, the CYAN 2. Like its predecessor, this is a balanced R2R DAC, based on discrete resistor networks. In addition, it operates in NOS (Non-Over-Sampling) mode for very pure, authentic signal restitution. Here are the main improvements on version 2 of the CYAN DAC:
Holo Audio's CYAN 2 DAC is one of the first to support native DSD via its R2R ladder architecture. The CYAN 2 module has been specially optimized for this application, and runs on MAC (DOP), Linux (DOP), and Windows/PC (Direct Native and DOP).
The CYAN 2's Altera MAX II CPLD is used to process the clock signal and optimize the quality of the digital sound signal by considerably reducing the jitter rate.
Equipped with an I2S port via HDMI connector, the CYAN 2 lets you enjoy the very best in audio transmission. Please note that the pinout is proprietary to Holo Audio, although it is similar to the PS Audio standard. Left and right channels are inverted for DSD streams.
Please note that I2S is not the same as HDMI Audio/Video signals. Never connect an HDMI device to the CYAN 2's I2S port. Make sure your source device is I2S-compatible and has a similar pinout configuration.
