HOLO AUDIO CYAN 2Balanced DAC R2R NOS 32bit 1536kHz DSD1024

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:

  • It is equipped with two independent R2R networks, the first of which handles the primary DA conversion of PCM streams, while the second (with vector stepping) handles the DA conversion of DSD streams.
  • A new, more efficient deglitching technology is integrated. It doesn't generate any unwanted noise or effects.
  • The CYAN 2 has better measurements, with a SINAD of over 106dB and a dynamic range of over 127dB.
  • It now supports sampling rates up to PCM 32bit 1536Mhz and native DSD up to DSD1024 via its USB port.
  • The USB interface uses proprietary software with ultra-low latency and a data transmission reliability rate 2 to 4 times higher than usual interfaces on the market.

Native DSD support

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.

Holo Audio CYAN 2 DAC: I2S input via HDMI

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.

Cyan 2 - great improvement
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.
